Problem here is getting the "tied up" tie under the collar "wings". With an
undone tie you can do a "sawing" motion and it slips up under that collar a
treat. Lifting the collar is tough (if starched).

This reminds me of the end of one of the Pink Panther films with Peter
Sellers, he finally "gets the girl" (Britt Ekland?) and does the seductive
undressing bit, but the tie gets stuck around his ears!!

I figure the girls don't know what martyrs to fashion us lads are!! ;-)
