So, uh, whose job is it to check that the dress code is being followed, especially the underwear stipulation?

Anyway,  questions aside, the city council in the community north of Tampa recently handed down  a dress code that warns employees about following “strict personal hygiene.” Besides the underwear edict, the council also instructed employees to start using deodorant regularly.

Oh, and while employees must wear underwear, they are prohibited from exposing any part of said skivvies — making it all the more difficult, we think, to catch no-underwear-wearing violators.

The new dress code further prohibits clothing emblazoned with foul language or which is “sexually provocative.” Piercing is OK, but only for the ears.

The only opposition to the rule came from the community’s mayor, Joe Bernadini. He told the Associated Press that he found that the underwear rulings inhibit “freedom of choice.”

We’re still trying to figure out what that means.
