Sometimes you're out to eat in between events and need to have your meal in a bit of a rush. Normally, a restaurant wil accommodate this if you let them know. Because you know they're not back there milking the cow to make the cheese from scratch. However, I think ol' Betsy might have been visiting the kitchen.

Arizona is home to many unique things around the world. But one thing we have not been known for, unlike Los Angelos and New York, is fashion. However, we have our own unique fashion that originated here, and one particular piece even has an entire society dedicated to promoting it's use. It's the Bola Tie, the official neck piece of Arizona, dedicated as such by then-Gov. Jack Williams back on April 22, 1971.

A man on a horse rode through miles of the sun-drenched desert searching for some sign of life. His supplies were running low when his horse died.

Now on foot, he desperately sought refuge from the heat, and, most importantly, a source for water.

Suddenly, he came across a vendor in the middle of the desert.

"Thank God I found you!" the man cried. "Please help me. I'm in dire need of some water."

"Well," said the vendor, "I don't have any water. But would you like to buy one of these fine ties."

"What am I going to do with a tie?" the man asked.

"That's what I'm selling sir. If you don't like it, I can't help you."

The man left the vendor and walked on for many more miles, praying each minute that he would find refuge from the scorching sun.

His eyes squinted a bunch of times when he came across a restaurant in the distance. Unable to comprehend a restaurant located in the middle of the desert, he assumed the place was a mirage, but decided to check it out anyway.

As he approached the door, his mouth opened in amazement, seeing that the place actually existed.

The doorman stopped him before he entered.

"Excuse me sir," the doorman said, "But you can't come in here without a tie!"
