We don't have any rule against wearing shorts, in fact one person wears
them all the time.


Sure BB, common sense all the way, but if it's 110 in the shop and humid
I can risk the protection a .01 piece of cloth provides my shins.

Ha... I didn't realize that you were just venting. In the same vein,
when challenged to go put on some pants you could do that AND put on
some of those leather "chaps" that cowboys wear - accessorizing with
such items as spurs and 10 gallon hat. THAT should graphically
emphasize your attitude toward their "no shorts" rule. LOL
