A job I worked at some 50 years ago (field survey work) permitted
shorts. The guys even got to have a swim in any convenient body of

to complain about these guys goofing off during working hours,
swimming in jockey shorts or less.
Word soon came down banning shorts and no more cooling off in the
pond. A few idiots spoiled a good thing.

It's not the idiots, it's those who either over-react or just flat out take
advantage of the idiots to force their own will on others. Those are the
real idiots. .
