6 PROBLEMS WITH WEARING PYJAMAS IN PUBLIC

What an unprecedented blow-up in Gisborne over wearing pyjamas out to the shops. Of course, there are many reasonable and well thought out arguments on both sides of this debate... although perhaps a few more AGAINST than FOR. Here are the issues I have with using nightwear as daywear...

1: Finding a handbag to match.

2: All the extra washing and drying involved. You'd have to go from once a month to once a fortnight. I s'pose.

3: Avoiding open flames. I presume there are more open flames out in public. Maybe there aren't. It'd pay to be careful though - you're bound to be more flammable than usual.

4: Nasty drafts in unexpected regions.

5: Getting into fancy nightclubs. Technically, many pyjama tops DO have collars, although I'm not sure a dressing gown qualifies as a jacket.

6: The clean underwear conundrum. Obviously you should always wear clean underwear in case you're run over by a bus. But a lot of people are in the no-undies-under-jarmies camp. Undercarriage comfort over potential bus accident embarrassment - now THAT's a curly one.
