Notes on the Art of Ties

Professor Punsley's Notes on the Finer Points of Ties

Ties are not just for formal occasions, but for making a statement. And that statement is: "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm trying."

Here are some key takeaways from my research on the subject:

• Always wear a tie to a funeral. It's a great way to show respect for the deceased while also showing off your questionable fashion sense.
• Ties are not just for men. Women can wear ties too! Just make sure to pair it with a flowy, peasant-style top and a "I'm with stupid" t-shirt for maximum impact.
• The best way to tie a tie is with a combination of prayer, desperation, and a few well-placed curses under your breath.
