Wearing a Tie May Cause Blindness!
An anonymous reader noted that there finally is some science to justify not wearing a tie! Doctors have found that wearing a tie too tight causes pressure on the jugular vein, which leads to a build-up of pressure in the eyeballs. Such pressure rises have been linked to glaucoma, which causes blindness. Now, if only some kind researchers could get us all out of wearing pants at the office, we'd be set!

I work with lots of fat, pasty software devs, I'd rather not see them pantless.
If we could take pot-breaks to combat blindness, well, now you're talking.
for wearing pants: they're optional. you are also allowed to wear a skirt, kilt or dress.

Judging by the general clientele of slashdot, myself included, I'm hoping that this never comes to pass.
Think of the co-workers, I tell you.
Remember kids: Graphic, disturbing images can cause hysterical blindness.

Researches funded by the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation are feverishly working on this one, don't worry.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
I guess this explains why most CEO's can't see past next quarter's earnings report. If only the corporate culture at Worldcom and Enron was a little bit more casual...

I telecommute, you insensitive clod!
I left my clothes at CowboyNeal's last night
I'm just glad management wears ties. It's something to strangle the fuckers with if I see the need.
This is why I love being a programmer at a little company: my "corporate uniform" typically includes a hawaiian(sp?) shirt, shorts, and sandals (with or without socks). The more tacky the shirt the better; it screams "I sit in front of a computer all day and I love it!"...unfortunately it also screams "I'm single and have no burning desire to attract women". On occasion you'll be suprised and women won't run away screaming upon seeing your tacky polyester hawaiian shirt...
Mister taco, If you came to my office with no pants on I think I would gauge my eyes out.

As this time-travelling picture from the year 2006 shows, the pantsless office policy at Slashdot was not such a great idea.
let's just be honest,
if you telecommute, it's pretty much guaranteed you work naked; well, it'd be stupid not to.
I'd gladly wear a tie if they'd let me get high at work. Of course, at that point it would likely be a Grateful Dead tie worn around my head to keep my long, luxurious hippy hair out of my eyes.
you're all figments of my deranged imagination
Currently I'm unemployed by choice.
Right, right, I bet you also don't have a girlfriend by choice.
Geez, is there anything I can do that doesn't make me go blind!?!
