Hmmm, I wonder... does IBM have have any rules stating
where employees
are supposed to wear them, or do the rules just state that one is to
wear them? There are multiple possibilities... over one's arms, head,
around one's shoulders, in one's sportscoat pocket in place of a
handkerchief, etc. Working at IBM must be rather interesting... the
more rules, the more poorly defined rules there usually are which one
can twist around to make the workplace environment more interesting.
I got it from that lousy documentary series from a few years back about the
rise of the personal computer. The kind which only focuses on IBm, Bill Gates
and Apple.
Anyway, there was a spot with an old IBM employee telling an anecdote about
when he was green at the company, wandering down a corridor, impeccably
dressed, when he encounters an older employee who proceeds to lift his
trousers' leg, scolding him for not wearing pantyhose.
I could get the terminology wrong, though. Perhaps is pantyhose just for
women? The kind I'm referring to is the kind of ribbons used to keep men's
socks high.

"LART is an acronym for Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool, and is generally a
piece of heavy hard material such as a cricket or baseball bat, hunk of pipe,
or 2x4 for the fine tuning of a luser's atitude. This is a noun that can be
used as a verb. If I say I lart someone, I mean that I am performing delicate
tuning procedures upon that persons head utilizing a LART. An ICBM would be
considered an agressive LART."
