A certain irony in an inability to tie a tie or manage time by college years? I had to wear a tie every day since the 3rd grade. Then every day at work until the mid 90’s.
Wow, I’m confused, the cop didn’t just start shooting? But Ive been reading everywhere.....
;-)
I would still be wearing a tie except I have to wear arc flash clothing in my line of work.
Sloppy neck ties matter.
The kid was white so it doesn’t count. And if he’d been black it would just be patronizing so it wouldn’t count.
“I had to wear a tie every day since the 3rd grade.”
Clip-ons don’t count.
I used to keep a tied neck tie on a hanger for special occasions.
I guess nobody here enjoys a feel-good story at Christmas.
Not just a a cop, a “peace officer”.
This policeman, I believe, is representative of the vast majority of LEOs. Great story.
Thank you!
This is why I posted the story.
As little boys in the 50’s, we wore clip on bow ties to church. My dad would make a huge production out of it pushing it into our necks, and working with it. Then done. One day I tried to put one on myself, and there was nothing to it. Dad lost his bow tie job. LOL
No clip-ons. Maybe now in college?
I collect old text books. I have a fourth grade reader from the year nineteen hundred and eleven. It is what today is considered college age literature. Talk about being dumbed down?
Wonder if the cop would have helped a skinny person?
Was he taught the four in hand, or the half Windsor, or the Windsor?
Wisconsin doesn’t have Minnesota’s issues.
