Hey Vinny,
How about the scripture in Deuteronomy 21 that says, cursed is any
man who hangs on a tree. You could tell your wife that, when you
wear a tie, you run the risk of getting caught on a tree branch by it
and suffering the wrath and curse of God. Hmmm, admittedly, it is a
bit far fetched, but you could try it anyway. It might work.
