Baggy Pants...Well, they sure aren't wranglers.

My colleagues and I today witnessed something interesting. A courier service that supports our building had an employee with pants hanging so low they could not stay up by themselves. No kidding, office setting, and boxer underwear were a showing with some print similar to a picnic table cloth. I did not look of course, but that is what they tell me :-)

I did a little research and found what may be the first "big" city to pass a law against the adornment of large saggy pants ( http://globalgrind.com/source/www.palmbeachpost.com/13958/saggy-pants-law-approved-i-first-big-city/ )
I do not know how stringently it is being enforced, but is this OK? Do not get me wrong, I am not an ACLU diamond supporter or anything, but is it OK for agencies to legislate the appropriateness of clothing? For one thing, I would think that the police would want to endorse baggy pants. I do not think that a criminal, and not all folks sporting baggy pants are criminals, can reach top sprint speed trying to hold up their pants or the parts of pants falling down where the skull and cross bones belt buckle failed. An interesting discussion at work none the less. And after all, even our President-elect believes that, "brothers should pull up their pants."

Take care y'all and have a great weekend. Enjoy the weather and cook something good, because I know that we will.
