Virginia's Unbelievably Important Underpants Law

I was going to do a whole goof on the Virginia state congressman who wanted to fine people who wear low-riding pants that expose their boxers, but a state committee killed the bill after everyone realized the guy who proposed the law was a nitwit.

Now the lawmaker who proposed this, Algie T. Howell, can turn to less important matters like crime, taxes and jobs.

I'm always repelled and fascinated by legislators who have never read the Constitution and have nothing better to do than to dictate what their constituents should wear, what TV and radio they should watch and what music is good for them. At least stupidity is non-partisan -- Mr. Howell is a black Democrat.

Note to Mr. Howell: If seeing underpants offends you, I would avoid going to Virginia Beach.

The planet eagerly anticipates his next bill banning fat people from spandex.
