Perhaps we could combine the two and talk about the benefits/detriments of going topless at work?
There are detriments?
Yeah, sorry - my bad...
Heh...well considering some of the responses around here, I'd say a detriment is that none of the men will get any work done [you visually-aroused permanently juvenile pigs].
Of course, that means all the work will be done by the women...they'll therefore get all the pay-raises and promotions, right? So that's a benefit.
Oh, and in much of the professional world, women could end up saving a LOT of money from the clothing budget.

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal for women to go topless in NY. Hasn't been for a while, afaik. It's not a legal issue that prevents most women from doing it.

One should be able to joke without being classified as "permanently juvenile pigs".
The point of the news column was the 3rd sentence.
Does it ring a bell?
Have you hugged your arghule today?

One should be able to recognize a joke without the joker having to put a smiley at the end of everything.

I wear shorts and a t-shirt to work every day. Unfortunately, I have to wear a clean room suit over it. Everybody looks like this:
(sadly, including the guy on the left who obviously needs help)
My request for a black suit to be Vader to all my stormtroopers has yet to be approved.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

For about a year in the early 90s I was dressed like that every day, with the exception of the face mask.
I worked for an aerospace company doing Quality Assurance on flight store parts as they came into a clean environment.
