What's the limit?

A group called Improv Everywhere held its annual No Pants Subway Ride yesterday. Or, at least they attempted to hold it. It was semi-thwarted by police who arrested some of the participants for dropping to their underwear once on the subway and charged them with disorderly conduct.

My question is what is the limit? How much of the underwear must be showing for it to be disorderly? Do the pants have to be completely removed or just lowered? At first blush it appears that it must be complete removal otherwise they would be busy arresting every gang bang wannabe who wears his/her jeans around his/her knees exposing his/her boxers. If that is the case, is the limit complete removal or could the GBW be charged if the pants fall below the knees?

Have you noticed the way these GBWs hitch up their grossly oversized jeans every few seconds because they are in danger of dropping around the ankles? I can only think this is will become an automatic reflex. Often times when I am wearing my contacts, I catch myself trying to push my phantom spectacles up. Of course, I blithely try to cover it as an itch on the bridge of my nose. What is going to happen to these poor GBWs who grow up and realize they look completely ridiculous? They will go back to properly fitting clothes yet have the overwhelming urge to hitch them up every few seconds. Should be amusing.

I would be tempted to fight the disorderly conduct charge if I were one of the arrestees with just such observations. I would question the law as it applies to boxers showing. What is the legal limit on Fruit of the Loom exposure?
