    Ah ha !!! Management could be "hoisted on their own petard" if they now come out and say, no kilts. Good for you, keep kilted.

    Oops ! Sorry Pleater, I missed your earlier post that referenced the "petard".

    The phrase 'hoist by their own petard' comes to mind - banning shorts, allowing skirts - HA!!

    As the temperature gets up high, I wouldn't be surprised if you end up "inspiring" your co-workers to get their own kilts. It could either be a new trend, or force the upper management to re-think the shorts policy (but once kilts become the norm at the job, I doubt folks will head back to shorts).

    I had a co-worker mention to me that she wants to outlaw shorts so the guys will be forced into kilts -- and really, who am I to argue ?

    Cheers

    I wish I had something funny or profound to put in a signature.
