The Bowtie Story

Though I have worn bowties for many years, I still get inquiries as to how, and why one wears one of these things. The reasons are numerous - and I appreciate further contributions.

Reasons for a bowtie include:

• If your shirt is cheaper than your tie - while dining
• What's good for Churchill . . .
• It makes for better avatars
• While mistaken for waiter, you get tips
• Every event looks semi-formal
• What's good for Bozo . . .

How To Tie A Bowtie
1	Adjust your tie so that one end is 1 1/2" longer than the other
2	Cross the long end over the shorter and bring it up through the center
3	Form a single loop with the short end and place it at your collar
4	Hold the loop with your left hand and bring the long end down over the front
5	Form a second loop with the long end and pass it up behind the front loop
6	Push the second loop through the knot - behind the front loop
Now simply even the ends and tighten !
