I was doing my tie today when I realised that a nice tie, nicely tied, looks "tidy" only because...

It first creates creases on an otherwise uncreased piece of fabric, comes together in a complex knot and, finally, uses a large facade to cover up the CREASES AND COMPLEXITY!

However, a closer looks reveals the RESTRICTION (on the wearer's neck) and the TENSION (between the tight knot and the tendency of the fabric to return to its original width and uncreased state).

And that's what makes a man "respectable": Complexity, inner tension, restraint... and everything unsightly swept under the carpet!
