"Are you getting ready to go to that party? Hi, my name is Robert Segundo, and I'm going to teach you how to tie your necktie. What we're going to do, is we're going to take our thin end, and this is our thick end here, and what we're going to do, is we're going to put this, the point of this, somewhere around our belly button. This will make sure that this ends up, somewhere around our belt line. A good rule of thumb, or maybe just a little bit above, so what we're going to do, is we're going to take our tie. We're going to wrap it around, like so. What we're going to do, is we're going to make another full and complete circuit, around the thin end. Now, we're going to pull this up, through the neck hole, and down, and then just slide it inside of our piece, like so. What I want to do is straighten this out, and make sure this doesn't get all bound up, and we just pull it up to our neck, like so, and this is about the right place I wanted it. We'll pull our collar down, and there we have it. This is your necktie. Simple, easy to do, just a simple Windsor knot on there, and you're ready to go to the party, so this is your necktie, and my name if Robert Segundo."
