Declaration Of The Tie, December 8 1998:

Now the workers of the world have cast aside their shackles,
the modern workman has bound himself again.
To the ever present tie,
to the snake around his adam's apple,
to the cord of sin we use today to measure decency.
Tiewearers of all nations unite!
Cast off the rope that binds you!
Risk your neck!
Liberate yourself and venture forth into open-collar paradise!

(takes off his tie, waves it around a little and throws it to the floor)
