MEN: You can only wear trousers, if you wear anything else you are fired and if you are not productive you are fired.

Right now I am at a job where for the first time in four years I can't wear shorts and I can't stay awake because I find pants so uncomfortable and hot. I should see if I can bring in a fan and put it under my desk and have it blowing on my pants. I know some companies say that is a fire hazard.

On the other hand.....I don't know if I like the idea of kilts for men being reduced to "play clothes" and never being taken seriously either. :confused:
That makes more sense. On the first read thought, it was not clear that you were refering to the policy rather than Raphael's decision or post. I just sticking up for individual thought. I obviously misread the statement.
