Ah, well. I wear a suit and tie rather infrequently, but enough to warrant a couple of good suits none the less.
Corporate chokeholds is a new one for me. I've heard two quips with respect to ties:
1) A former co-worker of mine calls ties love handles. Why? It gives your boss something to hold onto when you're kissing their ass.
2) Another former co-worker (see a trend here?) says that the reason consultants wear ties is to cut off the oxygen to their brain and make them as dumb as regular staff :).
I like the first. Actually, I like them both. Different audiences, though.
