The Font of the Lore
If you get old enough you are are considered wise, apparently because you have lived a long time. It doesn’t actually work like that, but, as Badtux keeps reminding us, half of all people are below average. This means when the younger folks need instruction in ancient traditions you are the first person called.
So it was on Saturday evening when a young tenant called in a bit of a panic and asked “Do you how to tie a tie?” The guy is in his in his early 30s and works in hospitality, but has forgotten how to do it.
I couldn’t just direct him to a web site, because data charges are outrageous, so he came over and I showed him how to tie the Windsor knot. I recommended that he not wear flip-flops.
I just can’t imagine an adult male who can’t tie a tie.
