It's All @ The Bow Tie

A respected image consultant once said that the average person who wears a bow tie is distrusted by all. What all bow tie wearers know is that an average person would never be wearing a bow tie in the first place.

Owen Edwards, "Town and Country"

You might very well think that--I couldn't possibly comment.
