I need my pants on

I woke up this morning, went to the living room and stretched.  And what did I see in the apartment across the street from us?  Three guys working without any pants on.  They were wearing just boxers, typing furiously away on their laptops. Maybe they have their heat on high.  Or maybe they’re making a statement to the neighborhood.  Or was it No Pants Day in Brooklyn?

My wife asks: “would you work with your co-workers, wearing only boxers?”  My answer: no.  I don’t think I can.  Even when I work alone I wouldn’t work without pants.  Maybe there was a time in my life when I prefer to bare my legs in work mode, but now that I’m old and wiser, I need my pants on while working.  Especially when other people are around.

I think there’s something about taking your work seriously and covering your balls. Then again, if wearing only boxers make you design like Aaron Draplin, who can argue?
