While the state of Louisiana certainly has its faults, I must applaud a recent development in several LA local governments.

I guess I’m old fashioned, but it just drives me up the wall when I see guys walking around with their boxer shorts exposed well past the point of reason.

When I ask guys why they prefer to have their butts hanging out of their pants, they never seem to have a good answer. “Ah’dunno. Iz coo’ I guess.” Riiiight.

Anyone caught wearing sagging pants who exposes his or her underwear will be subject to a fine of up to $150 plus court costs, or face up to 15 days in jail.

The laws being enacted are most often clarifications of existing indecency rules already on the books. You can read the complete article here.
