Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.

Sounds like someone is trying to impose a dress code.
Remember when there was an order that men had to wear ties. One person wore his tie hanging over his belt buckle.

Rauner Prep High School…
Now…
Somewhere, khakis are required and “whatever”

Or the Rauner YMCA has an odd way to promote working out.
Or the Rauner Library frowns upon the riff-raff wearin’ jeans and a denim shirt, even if it has a leather vest over the shirt.
Or…

“You wear khakis?”
“It’s the required uniform”
“Khakis”

“It states clearly in the Raunerbot Handbook… ‘Pants. Should be khaki in style and acceptable color’… “

Bruce Rauner employing people in a state that needs reform and a turnaround agenda to survive.

Even armed with a diploma from Rauner Prep, the best one can hope for in this godforsaken Illinois economy is a job folding shirts at the Gap.

Rauner bought all the Carhartt and the motorcycle gear, the only things left are khakis and parachute pants.

“Khakis? Ok. Fine. Do I have to wear shoes?”

Khakis? Where is she going to hide her tater-tots?

And what am I supposed to do with all of these ties now?

And on top of that, they’re required to be unpressed and topped with a Carhartt!

Is there a way to abbreviate the links such as the one from Anon221? These excessively long web addresses make reading comments on my iPhone difficult to read and inconvenient to constantly sideways - scroll whether I wish to click the link or not.
Comment by Kippax Blue Monday, May 16, 16 @ 3:03 pm
If anyone can give me the tools to make a hyperlink, I’ll do that in the future. Right now I have no way of knowing how long some of these turn out to be once I paste them into the comment box. I apologize for messing up the view.
Comment by Anon221 Monday, May 16, 16 @ 3:07 pm
To be fair, 221, not trying to pick on your post–it’s every time there is a link like that… It just the first time I ask about a remedy. Cheers.

My guess is that she’s a swimmer, or some other vocation requiring no pants.

Could be worse. I hear the students at Dorothy Brown Prep have to pay $5 every day they want to wear their jeans…
