    re: Grant Wearing Tie Proof. lol His mind is going, at SUCH an early age, too. ;)

    I tie a Windsor knot (my dad was a naval Petty Officer), and it's never been a problem. In the military, I learned to tuck the short end of the tie into my shirt between two buttons.

    Well, obviously, we have some members who are unwilling to learn new things. So to help the knot challenged, I am now marketing a special “saxon tie modification device” otherwise known as the STMD.

    I am only in the beta stage with the STMD right now, but sometime within the next few months, I should be able to go on-line selling this fantastic tie shortening device.

    The STMD will be extensively tested on all known tie fabrics to ensure full function ability. The testing process consists of pulling out the back part of any tie tucked into a shirt or behind a belt and forcibly severing the fabric material, thereby enabling the knot challenged to wear the tie with kilt. I also plan on writing an extensive operators manual coupled with glossy color photos. Some of you might be interested in getting in on the ground floor with investment capital.

    I am taking advance order now. For those who are willing to accept a few flaws during the testing process, I have the first proto-type (shown below) available now.

    Now! Come come Grant,this won't do!Even you must know that scissors are not carried in your sporran.Surely everyone knows that scissors are carried in a haggis hair sheath that is then placed in your hose on the inside of your left leg.
