*** Read the fine print...it might save your @... ***

I have a tie (Yep, a TIE!) that I got back in either '93 or '94...

At first, I thought it was brightly colored Easter Eggs (????) - I couldn't quite figure out why eggs on Fathers' Day, but I didn't want to seem miffed, perplexed or whatever, so it was, "Cool!" (First tie...had to say something...)

Then, a few years (Really!) later, the wife asked me why I don't wear my Harley tie that much...

HUH????

"I don't have any Harley tie."

"Yes you do!"

"No, I don't! When did I get a Harley tie?"

"For Fathers' Day! Scott gave it to you!" (she's starting to sound a little miffed at this point...)

"That tie? I thought it was Easter Eggs (The pattern is BRIGHTLY COLORED HARLEY TANKS!), that's why I only wore it around Easter."

She drags the tie out and shows me the word "Harley" printed ALL OVER THE TIE!

I NOW pay attention to THE SMALL DETAILS.

Turns out, this is the ONLY tie I own that gets any comments and those comments are all positive. I've even had people (Harley folks) that have offered to buy the tie from me for up to $75.00...it must have been some "limited edition" or something along those lines...

Won't sell it...I'm planning on being buried with it on...

Did I mention that I look at the details a bit closer, now?
