In Scotland, a company that rents out kilts is now asking customers to wear underwear....

Leading Scottish kilt-making firm Slanj has written a clause into its hire terms requesting that underwear is worn at all times. Other firms, such as the prestigious Geoffrey (Tailor) Kiltmakers and Marchbrae Clothing, both on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, have said they also back this policy.
The companies have introduced the clause because of the habit of some men to return extremely soiled garments.
While the firms dry clean the garments before they are hired out again, some kilts are so dirty they are unhygienic for staff to handle.
Slanj, which has made kilts for Sir Sean Connery, Ewan McGregor and Billy Connolly, has just launched its hire service but introduced the clause because of previous experience. The company has come up with a rhyme that is displayed on posters around its stores in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, in a bid to encourage its customers to consider wearing underwear.
It reads: "Though Scots like to prance/About in their kilts wearing nae pants/Fir the next punter make it fair/Dinnae firgit to wear a pair."
I was just asked to contribute to a gift for the Big Boss. Seriously, y'all??
Unless the BigBoss is leaving/retiring, no.

T-acky!
I had cake for breakfast. It was delicious but now I am crashing hard.

It's her birthday! And not even a big round one.
hells to the no. never to early to introduce people to the philosophy of Whitney.
My big boss gets extremely uncomfy if I give him anything, even if it's something I got for free or cheap, like books for his kid at the Book Expo (free!).
For his birthday last year I gave him an issue of Popular Science from the month/year he was born. I got it for a dollar at the flea market, which i had to tell him because he was so uncomfy taking it even though he clearly loved it and wanted to put it in a shadow box frame.
I think it's odd. I mean, it was a bday gift! I've been working for him for 7 years! It was a DOLLAR!
I gave my boss gum for Christmas. He gave me nothing. I'm ok with that. I mean it's gum and it was my choice. being asked to contrinute is just no way in hell.
Being asked is totally different, agreed.
I stopped collecting for baby gifts at JPL because it really did seem to make a lot of people uncomfy.

That's awesome. And for a dollar, even better!
