When I was in Jr. High School, the dress code required girls
to wear either dresses or skirts.  Slacks and shorts were not
tolerated.  I often wondered why the administration thought it
so necessary that the girls occasionally show their underpants
(the natural result of dressing in such a manner).

Mind you, I certainly was not complaining.  However, I DID notice
the inconsistancy of the administration's position.  In most other
decisions they seemed quite puritanical.
