A strange experience

Yesterday I was out browsing mens wear stores with my son in the baby carrier. In the most profiled smart wear store in the area i overheard the salesman talking to a customer in the fitting room. The customer wanted to try a matching tie with the suit he was buying and the salesman said that he was going to tie the tie for him, but had forgotten the technique. No one else in the shop came to assistance so i offered to tie it.

Salesman: >Yes, please.
Me: >You want a four in hand or a half windsor?
>...
>The thin crooked one or the thick newsreader knot?
>The thick one.

I then tied the tie to the short side so the loop would fit easily over the costumers head and handed it over.

Everyone was extremely impressed not least because i had my son on my chest the whole time.
It seems there's not much hope for the danish gentleman. Come on it's not that difficult!
