There was a meeting a couple of years ago between my company's engineers and some NASA representatives. No one in my company really wears suits anymore and the NASA guys complained that it was "unprofessional" to not wear a tie when one of our leads went up to present in just a Tshirt and jeans. After hearing that, the lead went back to his desk and came back with a wooden joke tie hanging around his neck to continue. They stopped criticizing our apparel after that.
I think talking about fashion when you should be talking about engineering is unprofessional. And probably done by someone who doesn't deserve to feed their family. "Why don't we have anything to eat daddy? I'm hungry!" "Because daddy likes clothes more than food, so he's not allowed to have a job ever again."
I'm interested in knowing what this wooden joke tie looks like
A piece of wood that is roughly tie-shaped attached to a piece of string so the string can be tied around your neck.
Where the heck did this person get a tie shaped piece of wood?
It's a running joke. Been around a while. I assume people have made some.
