In recent years, a debate has emerged in the medical community over whether neckties harbor dangerous germs.  As a result, several hospitals have proposed banning them outright.

What do you think?

  1. Never been a big tie fan, but sometimes they can look good with the right shirt. The key factor is having a collar that is not too tight.

    I wouldn’t mind a ban, but only because it would justify my occasionally tie-less appearance!

  2. I have never understood ties…why do you guys wear them??!! Don’t they fall into your food & stuff!! LOL

  3. Heh, Heh. I’ve wondered the same thing time and time again. I guess it’s just tradition. But perhaps there is hope for the future generation. My 3 sons all have an aversion for neckties. The 14 year old just refuses to wear them. The 9 year old will wear them until he’s out of sight of myself and my wife and then tear it off. And my 7 year old prefers bow-ties because “that’s what Daddy wears”.

    Go figure.

    Thanks for the comments.
