J.R. Moehringer on the decline of the necktie

I find it sad, I find it to be another sign of the dark age in which we live, that I can't even remember the last time I saw a man wearing a necktie, unless he was taking my order at TGI Friday's, or talking angrily about something on TV. Waiters and haters, that's what the necktie is down to.
