Mr Taylor: "He was strangled with this tie?"
Narrator: "Well no, he died of accidental strangulation by a strand of christmas lights when he was installing them on his house last year, tragic really, but he was strangled!"
Mr Taylor: "I mean, the way you said it suggested he was strangled by the tie--"
Narrator: "I KNOW, it makes it more dramatic. Just put on the damn tie. After that you must don these shoes of a man that drowned by having his feet held underwater until he was dead!"
Mr Taylor: "...but he wasn't wearing these shoes was he? Nor was he murdered, I'd guess. Let me guess, recreational cliffdiving and got his feet stuck in the mud underwater?"
Narrator: "just put on the shoes, please."

I know that when I strangle people with my very identifiable necktie, I always leave it at the scene for investigators to find.

That sounds like the calling card of 1960s Batman TV show villain: The "Tie-dier"

I've heard he's really "cleaning up" at the First Gotham Savings & Loan!

"Arrest the tie, then!"
