At random: “What wordy praise can one give such men as these; men who … follow unhesitatingly when in the vicinity of minefields so long as there is the possibility of targets … Men who flinch not with the fathometer ticking off two fathoms beneath the keel … Men who will fight to the last bullet and then start throwing the empty shell cases. These are submariners.” - Eugene Fluckey in his final war patrol report aboard USS Barb

Just tried to tie our neckerchief knot on my wifes scarf. Couldn't do it....I forgot how. I must be really old to forget that.

Practice, mates. I tie Carol's scarves every time she wears one.
It is only a square knot. Practice on your shoe lace.

Hard to do while facing her. Do it from behind while reaching over her shoulders. Like Ron said; it’s a square knot (left over right then right over left).
