Today, for the first time since I've been working here, Bully VP wore a bow tie.He sits directly across from me in staff meeting, and I had to suppress a big-time guffaw the moment I saw him.
A bow tie goes well with a nicely appointed tuxedo. But coupled with a run-of-the-mill business suit, a bow tie begs to be ridiculed.
It's a good thing I wasn't taking a drink of water when Bully VP walked in, or I would have showered everyone.
Through the duration of staff meeting, I kept remembering back to an SNL skit, when Al Franken played Sen. Paul Simon in a presidential debate, and every answer to every question ended with "...and that's why I wear... the bow tie."

i like the look of a bow tie on say a 90 year old man with a cane walking through the park
Bow ties belong on my grandpa and jaunty old guys. Not anyone who sits in meetings.....
Recently returned OSU president Dr. E Gordon Gee wears a bow tie- and it fits. It's more or less his trademark.
Bow ties scream doofus!
Actually, my dad looks quite dapper in a bow tie. He dresses very nicely (Brooks Brothers suits and ties). I guess he has "the look" to pull it off; others don't.
i think some guys can pull it off.
its all a matter of presentation and attitude.
i've seen it done well.
and i would expect it at a university.
It screams DOOFUS on Bully VP.
