The (Other) End of the Internet

You know those kids who walk around with their pants falling down and the top half of their boxer shorts hanging out? I don’t understand why today’s young people see that as a “good” thing to do.

I wonder how many of them realize that this fad got started in state prisons because inmates pretty much take what they’re handed for uniforms and belts are contraband.

Apparently, The Powers That Be in Louisiana are tired of looking at all the underwear (and worse) being displayed everywhere you go.

PORT ALLEN, La. (AP) - With a councilman saying underwear “is called underwear for a reason,” another Cajun-country town has banned saggy pants from its streets.

The ordinance, passed unanimously Monday by the Port Allen City Council, requires pants to be secured at the waist so they do not fall below the hips, expose underwear or create indecent exposure.

It is my sincere hope that this movement spreads faster than the California wildfires.
