Re: Shorts Crack The Code
God help us all! I hate the sight of the hairy male leg. Unfortunately, it has not been unknown for men to come to work where I am employed in shorts. A particularly unfortunate law of nature is that the most revealing fashions are overwhelmingly adopted by precisely those individuals of either sex who should keep themselves concealed.

Next fad: Wearing diapers to work, thus completing the infantilization of male attire.

Re: Shorts Crack The Code
In the eighties a UK defence contractor in Devon decided that dress codes could be relaxed. Things came to a head when one of the team leaders turned up wearing a Hawaiian shirt, shorts and flip flops. Management blew a gasket and everyone was back in suits in short order.

Re: Shorts Crack The Code
l would never wear shorts outside the house. l've always been like that. No-one wants to see ugly hairy legs. They are only good for the beach or around the house on a hot day. l find there is not many quality shoos that go well with dreaded shorts. Wearing them usually makes blokes look foul.
