'Comedy' ties - opinions?

Nismo · 5 Apr 2006 at 09:41

A lass at work gave me a 'comedy' Dilbert tie this morning. She thought I would like it, and whilst I do find Dilbert stuff funny, I don't really like these style of ties. Will normally only wear a plain coloured silk one.

Rather than offending her I just laughed about it and told her it was really cool, and that I would wear it when I was in a silly mood.

Anyone got any opinions on people who wear stuff like this. Cool or Tool?

Tool, I’m afraid.

Tool all day

My old gaffa used to wear a looney tunes tie

They pretty much just come across as a really really feeble attempt to have some character while you're 'conforming' to wearing a suit, to me.

I want one of those ties with the pinup bints on them. Those are nice.

Tool, but tie it round your head like a bandana and you'll look really cool.

As I thought, tool

Was never going to wear it, just wanted to make sure I wasnt the only one who thought this.

Funnily enough I have had the Fast Show guy pictured above in my head since she gave it me this morning

Just say it was really nice, you wore it out to a birthday meal and it got ruined in a chicken tikka masala related dunking incident.

Tool

But you know you'll have to wear it atleast once. Atleast in the office people will know it wasnt bought by you

Got a shredder at work?

Easy solution, isn't it...

Nope, its going in the back of the wardrobe as soon as I get home.

Not going to shred it in case she ever asks about in in the future

people who wear such ties have a tendancy to self-proclaim their own insanity

I'm maaaad me.... absolutely bonkers

such people should be hunted down with packs of rabid dogs

Why is a lass at work giving you a tie? Does she want you to tie her up with it maybe?

Oh and Tool is my answer

There is probably a time and a place for such things...probably. I'll be damned if I can think of it though.

Oh dear, Dilbert.

Reminds me of that family guy episode.

I'd avoid wearing it, say the dog ate it.

Hopefully

Nah, just a good friend. She probably saw it and what with me working in an IT role she thought it would be appropriate/funny.
