They were a way to cover up the neck, a body part that had been severed frequently. Clothes became much simpler in order to distance people from aristocracy, and the scarves simplified themselves over time as well. It was this movement that started the modern suit, as well, since wealth was shown now by tailoring, and not ornate-ness of the clothing.

That means we'll continue to joke about whatever we want, and that includes gallows humor. If you have a problem with it, go eat your watermelon.

And if someone voluntarily wears one of these ties, what is the problem? It is when these are worn involuntarily that there is a problem. People need to stop trying to be offended. Doesn’t affect me.
