The Ties That Bind -- Now if it wasn't for the need to make good first impressions in a variety of corporate cultures (or to keep my sartorially-sensitive spouse -- who believes that "business casual" is a sign, or even cause, of the decline of western civilization, if not of the apocalypse -- happy from time to time), neckties would no longer be in my closet. That would also help to avoid things like glaucoma and getting pulled into a machine. Not to mention chafing around the neck after putting on a bit of weight between buttoned up tie-wearings. That said, if you must, some of these ties are pretty good looking, and promote awareness of even greater dangers, to boot. My favorites are Hepatitis-B in red and taupe and Plague in midnight and red for a brighter, less staid look.
