Back in the day, men wore suits and women wore heels to work. Now bosses have to make a concerted effort to keep flip flops and shorts out of the office.

I guess with the heat and humidity in Florida, just getting workers to wear underpants is a problem. And if their daddies never taught them any better, well, city officials may as well ordain it.

The only vote against the underpants ordinance came from Mayor Joe Bernadini, who said the edict takes away workers’ “freedom of choice.” Guess we know what he’s been wearing, or not, underneath his suit.

I do have one problem with the rule, though — enforcement.

I know the job market is tough right now but do you really think anyone would apply to be the underwear checker/deodorant sniffer?

Hmmm.

Wonder what that kind of thing pays?
