Do you more frequently wear a tie or a band shirt?

The band shirt maybe once a month, a tie only every couple months or so - whenever there is a conference or special event.

Band shirt, ties are pretty obnoxious unless they're required although I'm a fan of blazers, dressy shirts/pants.

Here in the tropics we normally just wear slacks and nice button down shirts - about half the year long sleeve shirts are ok, but during the 'summer' (now) you really have to go for the short sleeves.  I only wear a blazer or tie if there is a special event, and mainly because the college insignia is on the blazer.

I suppose this slacks-and-button-down is normal enough for profs anywhere in the world.

Neither these days. Muscle shirts is where it's at.

I cannot imagine wearing such a thing - have never worn such a thing.

Tie.  Mainly because I have a big boy job, and I'm an adult.

Apparently wearing ties make one a condescending asshole!  I suppose if I worked as a waiter at a 'fancy' restaurant I'd be arrogant too.

Just because the two symptoms often appear together doesn't necessarily mean one is causative.  I'd say its more likely that the rear-opening you mention is more likely to get the 'big boy job', due to privileges (the same ones that made him a backside-apperture-type).  

Thus, the disagreeable personality, the 'big boy job', and the tie are all symptoms of our oppressive capitalist society, dead0man, none causative, but all telling.

Tarocash?  What's that, some kind of taro-farmer's savings-and-loan?
