A Florida city is cleaning up with a new dress code that requires city workers to wear underwear and use deodorant.

The city council in Brooksville north of Tampa recently approved a dress code that instructs employees to observe "strict personal hygiene."

It also prohibits exposed underwear, clothing with foul language, "sexually provocative" clothes and piercings anywhere except the ears.

Repeat offenders can be fired.

The city council approved the dress code 4-1 as part of a wider effort to update existing policies and ordinances.

The one vote in opposition came from Mayor Joe Bernadini. He said the underwear edict "takes away freedom of choice."

Can just imagion all council staff walking across a mirror laid in a doorway a la some Scottish regemental barracks. Pity about the piecing ruling though.

By not wearing undies, it provides an efficient means to have sex with co workers as it is one less of an obstical to negotiate. Theres nothing better or riskier than a booty call in the work sick bay, showers or toilets. I recommend it - but be smart about it. Pick your opportunites wisely.

Cheers.
