Ties are silly. Nobody has ever adequately explained to me why men should wear them.

Tradition.

It makes NO sense. Have you ever actually thought about the concept of the suit and tie and asked yourself, WHY?? What the heck??? I have. Its ridiculous and silly looking. Never catch me dead in one. And I mean that literally. Its in my will.
