This is pretty funny until you get to the last 5 and then it hits a whole new level.

# Clothing worn in a manner for which it was not intended i.e., backwards, inside out
# No holes or tears in clothing above 3 inch rule
# Blankets
# Jackets cannot be used to cover inappropriate dress choices
# Pants bottoms which are wider than the shoe

Life was so much more simple in the 80s.

No joke, B--we folded and rolled our jeans to make them as narrow as possible. Did we call that tight rolling in Marshall? I know we didn't say "pegged," but tight roll doesn't sound right either.

I was FORCED to wear skirts (and pinafores) above the 3-inch rule.

And also, how do I ensure that my wearing sunglasses is HOT??
