Wearing a Tie May Cause Blindness!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hah-we-told-you-so dept.

An anonymous reader noted that there finally is some science to justify not wearing a tie! Doctors have found that wearing a tie too tight causes pressure on the jugular vein, which leads to a build-up of pressure in the eyeballs. Such pressure rises have been linked to glaucoma, which causes blindness. Now, if only some kind researchers could get us all out of wearing pants at the office, we'd be set!

    British English != International English.

    American English == International English.

    Sorry dude, but the more important (and less gay) country influences the niggers, spics, and slantyeyed panheads of the world.
