[Flint, MI, Police Chief David] Dicks said wearing pants below the waist is a crime ...
[From ACLU prepares to take cops to court over saggy pants | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press]
Dude, I thought guys stopped wearing pants at the waist in about 1940. Except, you know, old guys. And guys with suspenders. Maybe I wore pants that high once or twice with a tux (yes! moi!) but every day? Are you kidding? Your waist is, like, way up there.
Meanwhile Lynwood, IL, a Chicago suburb, has passed an ordinance levying a $35 fine on anyone walking around with three inches or more of their underwear exposed. OK, true, my highly sophisticated sense of fashion gives me to think guys who walk around with their underwear hanging out look kind of dorky, but still. Begging the question what, exactly, is "underwear," what are they going to do, equip the cops with tape measures? OK, kid, 2 15/16" - you're good to go!
Maybe we all ought to take a deep breath, ya think? Is that too much to ask for?
Oh.
