We're cleaning up our act here in Florida, and none too soon.

We are fun people here in Florida. Sometimes priorities seem a little off, but fun.


Fla. city to workers: Wear underwear, deodorant
<snip>


A Florida city is cleaning up with a new dress code that requires city workers to wear underwear and use deodorant. The city council in Brooksville north of Tampa recently approved a dress code that instructs employees to observe "strict personal hygiene."

It also prohibits exposed underwear, clothing with foul language, "sexually provocative" clothes and piercings anywhere except the ears.

Repeat offenders can be fired.

The one vote in opposition came from Mayor Joe Bernadini. He said the underwear edict "takes away freedom of choice."

1. who will be appointed

Pit czar or check for underwear with foul language on it? Is someone gonna check for pierced clitorises or foreskins? What a bunch of doooofffuuusssses.

2. This makes me wonder exactly what took place to make them think that

it was necessary to write such a stringent dress code. I'd really love to hear the backstory on this.

Boxers, briefs, or nada.

6. I spent a month in Florida one week

One pair of underwear and one application of re-odorant isn't enough for an entire day. "Oppressive" doesn't begin to describe the relentless heat and humidity during the summer.

7. How will the prohibition against no underclothing be enforced?

What if a citizen of Brookville is not wearing underclothing but whose over-clothing in no way indicates that no underclothing is worn?

What then, and is democracy imperiled in our great nation when a city council cannot assert, with confidence, that someone is or is not wearing underclothing?
