I hardly EVER wear ties to work!

I don’t know, gang, our big fashion show starts in 30 minutes, and I’m all out of fresh ideas. Come on, we’re burning daylight here!

Okay, so we paint a two-lane blacktop road on Floyd’s forehead. Not bad. And we make him wear white lipstick, to symbolize - oh, who cares what it symbolizes? Then we trim his shirt with duct tape, to really keep them guessing. I like it!

But we need something else… Yes! We blindfold Floyd and make him tie his own tie with one hand, and we’ll call it, um, a creation! They’ll eat it up!

Oddly Enough Blog

Yes, sometimes bad ideas and lack of imagination try to disguise in fashion and look absurd or total lack of common sense.

“A new, rare species of snake was discovered at a fasion show yesterday. What staff thought was a tie, turned out to be a constrictor from the depths of the Amazon. The snake was noticed when the model’s lips started turning white.”
