    Look what I got!

    It has Prius, Civic Hybrid and Altima Hybrid on it. I don't know if I should wear it because it may make me look like a tree hugger. :D

    OK where did you get one and do they have a Prius only tie? I hate waring them but if I ever have to ware one I make sure it makes a statement like the binary tie that says "I hate ties" in binary.

    My wife got this sample from her work. There are two other colors as well. They are not for sale yet. If Nicole Miller decides to sell it, you should be able to get it from them. They already have the Conserve Water necktie.

    BTW, how do they write "I hate ties" in binary? Binary needs to be converted to ASCII to make those words?

    Binary tie

    You can also get an 8-bit tie.

    I don't wear neckties. I can think of stupider articles of clothing, but none that are commonly worn by men in the U.S. today.

    That 8-bit tie... LOL It is so pixelated that it is more like Atari than 8-bit NES.

    True. Everybody knows ties cut off the circulation to the brain, which explains a lot of things.

    Neckties were invented in something like the 15th century to keep body odours form emanating in to the room. Now that we have modern touches like indoor plumbing, they're really not needed.

    Any boss who thinks you should be wearing a tie is an donkey, and you may tell him I said that.

    I won't even wear a tie to court, There is a picture of me somewhere with a tie on but I only put it of for the picture. Oh then there was my wedding and that bow tie, nothing good comes from wearing a tie.

    I've been in court maybe 8 or 10 times, and never worn a tie there.

    Sure, if you want a job cleaning house once a month, when my regular cleaning lady moves out of town this fall.

    ok... where you get it??

    and as far as wearing it, i believe it would be appropriate at certain functions.. heck why not. i have some co-workers that wear literally anything especially on ties, hats, etc...

    you should see my work on "shorts and t-shirt" day... cant wear anything with an inappropriate slogan and that is greatly up to interpretation!!
