Hey, this is great! I was discussing neckties with a coworker this morning. With my reputation for Camo Ducktape and all things "tactical", this would be good to wear as a gag.
That could be a very useful tool. Just about like a tool bag.
Haven't worn a necktie in the past 4 1/2 yrs except to funerals and weddings. Now when I was working I could have kept all sorts of things in there including:
pencils
security ID Badge
glasses case
minature tape recorder
gum
calculator
cell phone
directory of phone numbers
toothpicks
my swiss 22 tool knife
hidden pistol(well...maybe not)
small sandwiches
mints
comb(except I didn't have any hair)
There's no end to this list. Guess I could have either worn an extra wide tie or hung two around my neck. Man am I glad I'm retired.
