Human men wearing women's clothing has both been considered a staple of classic comedy and a spring-board for unnatural depravity. It has never been considered a way to bring one closer to one's creator...until now. An island in Fiji has banned the wearing of pants on Sunday as a way to mark the Sabbath and keep it holy (story here). Instead men are to wear the traditional island sarong called a sulu. Which I find ironic because Mr. Sulu has been known to wear women's underwear for sometime now, I understand.
The Methodist Church on the island of Bua has ordered congregants to refrain from work on Sunday or from using motorized transportation. Emergency services are, of course, exempt from this restriction. Pity, because I would have loved to have seen paramedics running on foot to the scene of an accident with their skirts flapping in the breeze.
Not that there's anything sarong with that...
