"Dress Down Day" policies

E-mail 1: 1.00pm, Monday: Dress Policy:
From tomorrow, a casual dress policy will be implemented company-wide. Enjoy leaving your dark suits and white shirts at home!

E-mail 2: 9.30am, Tuesday: Dress Amendment 1:
Thanks for supporting the new policy. But please note: jeans and T-shirts should NOT be worn.

E-mail 3: 9.50am, Tuesday: Dress Policy Amendment 2:
When we said jeans and T-shirts should not be worn, we did not mean we wished you to remove those garments. Would the humorous guy in the junior division please note: the rest of us do not wish to see your baggy underpants and saggy singlets!

E-mail 4: 9.59am, Tuesday: Policy Amendment 3.
Urgent. We were all amused when the junior division took the previous e-mail as instructions to remove their underpants and singlets. Indecent exposure is a criminal offense.

E-mail 5: 10.19am, Tuesday: Dress Policy Amendment 4:
Our in-house legal counsel informs us that indecent exposure is NOT a criminal offense on private property. But in the interests of decorum, all staff MUST wear smart-casual clothes, such as sports jackets or mid-length dresses, from tomorrow.

E-mail 6: 9am, Wednesday: Amendment 5:
We are all highly amused the gentlemen of the junior division have come to work in mid- length dresses today. From tomorrow, only women are allowed to come to work in dresses.

E-mail 7: 9.25am, Wednesday: Amendment 6:
Thank you for referring us to the Equal Opportunities Commission. No sexual discrimination was intended by the previous e-mail. Senior partners are meeting to review the policy. Men from the junior division may retain their dresses until then.

E-mail 8: 11am, Wednesday: Dress Policy Amendment 8:
The dress casual policy is canceled. All staff are required to wear dark suits and white shirts from now on.
