Can you tie a bow tie? It's amazing what one does to entertain oneself, when one is bored on a Sunday evening.

Today I taught myself how to tie a bow tie. I have been wearing tuxedoes, well for some 10 years - the first time I wore one, I also wore a pre-tied bow tie. Soon after I realized I had to learn to tie the bow tie myself, so I bought one not already pre-tied.

In the last 10 years, whenever I have had to wear a tuxedo, and hence, a bow tie, I have been using a couple of hours each time trying to get the knot right. Yesterday evening I tried again, and suddenly I could do it! It doesn't look professionel, but I can do it without looking in the mirror and it take me less than 30 seconds now!

Amazing.

Can you do it?

Here's another guy who learned how to do it.
