The Death of A Salesman Necktie`

I have often said that every man should wear a tie to be properly buried.  This poor guy had un-paid bills to pay off after he passed and now has to work as a salesmen at the Bare Bones store in the Irvine Spectrum Mall in Southern California. They needed a salesman that had an understanding of the human anatomy and just about everything else that could make the difference in a sale or not. Pushing invisible men and other learning fashioned items for kids was a real uphill battle as just a few meters away was an anime retailer. Next door to that store was the computer gaming store where there was never ending throngs of kids test playing Play Station games nonstop all day.

So what do you do to challenge that threat against retail failure? Put a stiff in the window, at least that is what the manager of Bare Bones did. They give him a chiropractor tie to wear which sure fit his personality. However, it was tied pretty poorly so I re-tied it into a Windsor of course - What else could I do?
