This is hilarious!!

A Tesco store has asked customers not to shop in their pyjamas or barefoot.
Notices have been put up in the chain's supermarket in St Mellons in Cardiff saying: "Footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted."
A spokesman said Tesco did not have a strict dress code but it did not want people shopping in their nightwear in case it offended other customers.
He said he was not aware of any other Tesco stores having to put up similar signs. |

OK, I'll bite.
Why do some Koreans walk around city streets in pajamas?
Some even walk around in what look like exam gowns from doctors offices, the kind that open in the rear.
On city streets. In broad daylight.
Does that mean they can't shop in HomePlus? |

Those are in-patients from a local hospital. Next time you see them take a brief look around and you will probably find a hospital in spitting distance. I think the best time was when I saw a pair of patients sitting outside at a chicken hof, IV's and all, drinking soju. It often has to do with the tendency of people to use a minor accident as a chance to take a vacation from the grueling rat race. |

I had knee surgery in Ilsan, and while I was hospitalized for a week I would often take my morphine drip and my cigs and go wheelchair-ing around on the city streets. I'd have my johnnie and blankie, give the nurses a smile and a nod, then head outside to get some sun and see what was happening. Noone gave a %^&.
Could never see that flying in an American hospital, that's for sure. |

| This sort of guff pops up every two weeks in Britain. Last month it was some dude in a Jedi outfit caused the same thing to be banned in shops. The month before that it was hoodies. That place is going down the gurgler and I have no sympathy for a people that don't stand up and say "Enough". |

I think I read a while back that Jedi was practically a recognized religion in Britain. Tesco et al are on dangerous ground here (or at least, they should be).
Maybe they work for the Dark Side. |

Right. Now tell me again why they don't put on clothes? |

Have you ever tried to put a shirt on over one of those portable IV drip thingies? |
