Dear Abby actually has some good advice for once....

Stuff about how to dress for work.

The letter writer gives all the advice, but Dear Abby puts her stamp of approval on it. I especially like this one:

5. BATHE. There seems to be a new "natural" cult popping up whose adherents believe that washing removes vital oils from the skin and should be avoided. This phenomenon is more often, but not always, a male habit. Anyone in close contact with others should bathe or shower DAILY.

Heaven knows, we've griped about Funkstain, Stinky, Snaggletooth and several other hygenically-challenged co-irkers enough times. Maybe seeing it in a national column will open a few eyes. And maybe...

That scares me.

I have to say, reading through these, I'm glad that everywhere I've ever worked has had a uniform. I doubt I'd be able to contain my laughter if I saw a co-irker walk into Weis with a nametag and something that looked like she just came from a coke club. Admittedly, I did see some weird dress choices when I worked at the dairy, but we were required to wear full body aprons at all times, so that wasn't such a big deal.
