    Is he hanging over the table or does this cafe defy gravity in some way?

    I never eat while wearing a tie as they don't serve lunch in court.

    I just make ties out of my dinner so when I'm peckish I start nibbling on it.

    No. I get my butler to hold it for me while my maid spoon-feeds me.

    Perhaps he could be introduced to the invention that is the tie-pin.

    Strangely enough, I think the tie was originally designed to keep food off your shirt.

    This is why we wear a bow tie for dinner.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    They do in the cells.

    Anyone who throws their tie over their shoulder needs a tie pin. Also stops the wind blowing it over the shoulder, which looks pretty funny.

    How does a tie pin stop food going on your tie?!

    What's the purpose of a tie pin?

    I wondered if this might be my Dad but I know he's not in town today so it's can't be him. :) He does this every time he dines because he has a tendency to spill his food down his front - it's very cute :)

    Nope, just stick it in between buttons 2 and 3 in the shirt.

    From ehow

    "Tie Bar
    A tie bar's primary function is to attach your tie to your shirt. This keeps the tie from flopping around, getting blown by the wind, or accidentally ending up in your soup. The flat, long bar goes across the tie and clips into the middle of a button-down shirt.

    You'll often see muppets in the Dáil, leaning over their notes or their speeches, having to hold in the tie, to avoid it dangling in the way of what they're reading. It's such a simple solution.

    Yeah, but we're not all TDs without tie-pins.

    What is the real purpose of the tie, and do people actually like wearing them? I think I've only ever worn a tie 3 times in my life, and I'm not exactly a young lad...
