There's nothing wrong in being an assistant night manager at Burger King. It's honest work and in a way there's something enobling about an honest worker in an uncomfortable outfit.

My apologies to all honest wage slaves. I'm sorry you have to wear a dog collar.

Actually, I once read that the whole point of the suit and tie was to forever remove a man from the category of guys who could roll up their sleeves and do dirty manual labor. A man in a suit would never even be asked to change a wagon wheel or shovel pig $#!t. It was a manifestation of the British notion that a gentleman was someone who had independent inherited wealth and need never work with his hands a day in his life. It is a fashion and a philosophy unsuited for a democratic Republic.

100 years from now, almost every man in our generation will be wearing a tie.
