Wearing a pink tie isn't going to cure cancer. In fact that pink tie charity is the biggest scam in history.
Besides nobody knows or cares what charity you donated to when you walk around with your goofy Christmas epaulettes or tie. They just see an unprofessional person with goofy ties and epaulettes and are wondering if you're mentally well.
The pax seem to enjoy it, for the most part. I’ll continue to engage in my infantile behavior despite your misgivings. It’s rare that we get the chance to liven up the sea captain uniform. When given the chance, I choose to do just that, especially when it benefits a cause.
*When it comes to breast cancer awareness, many people do care about the tie. I’ve received more positive comments for the pink tie I ever would have thought possible.
