We’re wearing underwear now!
Thinking about a vacation? Be sure to consider Brooksville, Florida (pop. 8,000). In addition to everything else Brooksville has to offer — three city parks, a nine-hole golf course, and “an excellent library” — Brooksville can now assure visitors that each and every one of its city employees will be wearing underwear while on duty.
The city council of Brooksville, located about 45 miles north of Tampa, voted recently to overhaul its personnel policies, and as part of that it approved a new dress code. After consulting with “a number of sources,” city officials and attorneys came up with a series of guidelines that they hope will improve the government’s “public image.” Some idea of the government’s current public image might be gleaned from what they felt it necessary to have the new code deal with:
underwear is now required;- employees must use deodorant;
- no halter tops or Spandex at work;
- no skirts worn “below the waistline”;
- no other clothing that may be “distracting, offensive or revealing”;
- only ears may be visibly pierced; and, perhaps most disturbingly,
- all cuts or wounds must now be covered.
There’s your new tourism slogan: “Come to Brooksville: We’ve Covered Our Wounds!“
I’ve withdrawn my job application.
It’s all well and good to require underwear to be worn at work. But do they rely on the honor system or do they give someone the job of panty police? Also, boxers or briefs? Guess it DEPENDS.
