At 4:30 in the morning, they’re lucky if I show up properly dressed at all! But to answer the question… Unfortunately, I have a long torso, so I have a difficult time finding shirts that are going to be long enough for me. Most of them come untucked within seconds, so unless it is specifically longer than most shirts, it stays out. ---

John Major – ex Prime Minister – was characterised by a cartoonist as wearing his underpants _outside_ his pants / trousers. Kind of superman meets ineptness. And **No** , we don’t want him back. Tyanks for the reminder, Coldie :eek: 😉 ---

To make the story complete: said cartoonist got his inspiration when John Major, in an interview, told the reporter that he tucked his dress shirt inside his underwear. You can’t get more conservative than that. 🙂 And “Number Ten” refers to 10 Downing Street, the residence of the British PM. ---

Until very recently, I wore my shirts untucked. I’d gained weight, and it was just more comfortable. Now I’ve lost some, and I’ve got some jeans that fit, and shirts that I can tuck in. So, I’ve gotta start checking for the ass bulge again. Good to know I’m not the lone ass-bulge-checker here, though. 😃 [sub]hey aha, which supermodel? Just curious.[/sub] ---

I work from home. Sweat pants, T-shirt…no tucking…no hassles…or sometimes just the T-shirt. Kinda depends on my mood. Hey, its a rough life, but someone has to live it. Siren ---

More like body armor. They make Mrs. Tonk appear even more shapely and svelte. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so/66937.md?page=1)
