Dad: Hey, just what I need! Another noose around my neck.
Grad: C’mon, Pops, settle down. How many ties do you own that actually have something to do with wine?
Dad: Well, if you count the ones you’ve gotten me the last 10 years in a row, then…
Grad: This one is different. Check it out. The family that makes the ties also owns Robert Talbot Vineyards in Carmel Valley, California. First-class Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. You’ll be wearing a symbol of your excellent taste.
Dad: I’m glad you think it’s such a good idea. Here’s yours.
Grad: Why do I need a tie? I don’t even have a job.
Dad: God willing, that’ll change soon. And when it does, try not to look like a slob. These Lee Allison numbers are pretty spiffy, if you ask me. They’re a good American company, too. Out of Chicago. Remind me of the cool-cat ties from when I was a kid.
Grad: How long ago was that, daddy-o?
Dad: That would be back when I started the college fund.
