The ties are a changing

If a Muslim wore a tie in Iran in 1979 there was the possibility of being beheaded since ties were considered to be symbolic of the decadent west. It seems this particular tie meets with religous approval, probably because it's in the shape of a sword! One option is the metallic insert that transforms the tie into a fashionable method of beheading infidels. Looks like the Columbian necktie* has finally met it's match. Another option is a clear coating that protects it from stains like blood. Why would you want to throw away a perfectly good tie after just one use? Like Bob Dylan said the ties are a changing**.

* A Columbian necktie is a method of execution where the victims throat is slashed and the tongue is pulled through the open wound.
** He actually said "The times are a changing".
