Many people also abuse children, take drugs, drink PBR. Doesn't make it right. Patrick is right. Just say no to shorts.

+1 on shorts in the heat.

Ha ha, I know, just messin' with the shorts lovers. Here's another aspect for me: I feel vulnerable, unprotected, in a way, in shorts. For one, there's the sun, which would mean I'd have to slather on more sunscreen or risk burning. For another, just generally, my naked legs are exposed to the hazards of everyday life, edges of tables, spilled coffee, etc. It's much like how I feel about sandals -- I can't stand the idea of wearing sandals in an urban environment. It's like when I see people on motorbikes or bicycles in sandals -- like, wow, man, hope you're not real attached to the idea of keeping your toes.

/\  Aloha Spicoli ... I suppose you know best what you're comfortable wearing but I think people can be too harsh on themselves sometimes .... I'm sure the public can stand the sight of your legs but on the other hand it's as alright for you not to wear shorts when you don't want to as it is for others to wear them when they do ....

last night at dinner there was an 80+-year-old Harvard alum who was telling us about the 1930s, and he was wearing shorts, but nobody got sick and had to leave the room ....

anyway if you wear nice bright Hawaiian shirts like the one in the pic people will never notice your legs but if they do anyway and they don't like them either it's their problem, not yours, or you need a more distracting shirt .......

That's the Magnum P.I. shirt from Maui Shirts. It's the Hawaiian shirt to have if you're having only one.
