Cormac MacConnell: Tie yourself in knots and you’ll die sooner

If you happen to be wearing a collar and tie as you commence reading this epistle, I sincerely suggest that you stop here and now for your own peace of mind, and head towards any other story at all, either in this splendid supplement or in any other zone of the Irish Examiner today.

It is never my wish to cause health concerns to any of you, and this could easily occur if your neck is constricted by a collar and tie, and you choose to read on.

I disclaim all responsibility for any amongst you who do not heed this good and wise advice.
