Men should lose their "business attire" and wear T-shirts to work. Wouldn't you like to know whether your business partners are fit? Why should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body? And heaven knows what waves of creativity might be unleashed, when men are freed from conformist garb.

And finally, why didn't anyone tell me there was a Woot for t-shirts? What other bits of information are you people holding back from THREAT LEVEL? My email address is right over there, for Pete's sake. And we built you the world's only encrypted tip line (and yes it uses an algorithm only Schneier can break). Why are you treating us this way?
