in my research for today's topic i learned that the clip-on tie was invented in iowa. i like iowa. seriously, i do. on my many travels west on I-80, iowa is my favorite state to drive through. it's hilly, it's farmy ... i like it. but now i kind of want to judge it for inventing the clip-on tie.
not that the clip-on tie doesn't have its uses. policemen wear them so the bad guys can't strangle them with their own uniform. that's a smart move. and thinkgeek's 8-bit tie HAS to be a clip-on to successfully 8-bit. so iowa, i still salute you.
i also read an interesting article on how to turn a regular tie into a clip-on tie. okay, it wasn't really interesting, and the end result wasn't really a clip-on. so we'll move on from that now ...
then it occurred to me that if i have to do research, i apparently don't have a strong view on the subject. and then i realized that the topic didn't ask me to have a strong view, it just asked me to blog about it. so, clip-on tie, this one's for you, buddy. this one's for you.

Thats's a good point. i do love the law enforcement officers and would hate for them to be strangled.
When IBM's dress code was, suit, white shirt and tie The tie had to be clip on, safety reason.
