This actually made me LOL. Only 40 ties aye. Poor you. I myself, own 3 ties. A White tie, A Light Blue Tie and A Black Skinny Tie. That's it. Each one was purchased for an important event including a wedding, an 80th birthday and a prom. Tie's make a suit. They look so much smarter than without one and i have no problem wearing one. Saying that, i only have to wear one like once a year.
