Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I won't wear a tie while I print, but I'll drink beer and tie one on.
Watching old B roll film or documentary footage, seems like EVERYBODY wore a tie (and hat) at work. Assembly line worker, factory worker, butcher, newspaper boy, etc....Seems like ties weren't just for "white collar" jobs back in the day.
