Are you in the mood to wildly exclaim, "Wait, huh, what…. oh, okay, yes… okay, no, wait, what?"

Then you should read this letter to the Financial Times by Peter Fleischer of Google’s "Global Privacy Counsel" (yea, I don’t really know about that title either…).

Fleischer’s response comes in reaction to an article entitled "In spite of Paxman, the tie will flap again," a piece that debates whether or not men’s ties are on their way out.

Fleischer’s argument starts off solidly: "Men should lose their ‘business attire’ and wear T-shirts to work."

Okay, cool. 

Then, he digs a little hole: "Wouldn’t you like to know whether your business partners are fit?"

Um, okay, I guess? Maybe? No?

Next, he widens the hole and gives a little spit (with excess phlegm): "Why
should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body?"

Wait, huh, what…. oh, okay, yes… okay, no, wait, what?

See?  Warned you.
