Are you aware that today is national Wear No Pants Day?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) May 7th, 2010

I did not make this up. its national Wear No Pants Day. so, what exactly does this mean? that you should only wear shorts today and no long pants or does it mean to walk around with your boxers, g-string, or thongs showing? i am going to celebrate by wearing nothing but my “long johns”.....in my house of course. so, what are your plans to celebrate national Wear No Pants Day?

What is your source? Doesn’t it tell you the reason for the observance, or give a reference?
runs off to check wikipedia

Hmmm… it’s not listed there, which makes me more inclined to think that it’s commercially motivated. Doesn’t someone have an ad campaign about men wearing no pants? Dockers, perhaps?

@john65pennington Think you should wear your tutu today. I have never seen a law enforcement officer in anything remotely feminine. A pink one please LOLL

Too late. Just got in from the morning exercise, and I wore pants – both in the US and UK meanings of the word.

@hearkat – Here’s the source.

@aprilsimnel: Thanks!

Yeah, I get the point of wanting people to lighten-up; however, not everyone has legs as attractive as those on the people in the photo on that site. I don’t even like to go out in public in a bathing suit.

So my answer is: No, I won’t be celebrating this one with anyone but my sweetie ;-)

@wonderingwhy: Kilts and skirts are against the rules… check @aprilsimnel‘s link.

It is actually “hug the guy that picks the lettuce that you got on your Whopper” day.

I’ve gotta wear pants. sorry.
It’s just cheaper than losing my job, lawyer fees, bail, and psychotherapy for my kids.

Well, totally accidentally, I am sitting at my computer without pants on (I do have on underwear) so I complied with National No Pants Day, but I am going to put some on if I go out!

History: One day George Washington was supposed to meet with an important dignitary. However, all his pants were dirty and so he went in his undies and told the dignitary, “my deepest apologies, but I must respect my culture, and today is ‘National Day Thou Wearest No Pants’” later changed to “Nation Wear No Pants Day.”

Side note: The above is not history.

Apparently it’s actually “National Prayer Day,” but atheists decided to change it to National Masturbation Day.

I wasn’t. I’d be happy to join, but as others have said, I don’t want it to be National Get Your Ass Fired for me.

Hmm, I was always under the impression that no-pants day just involved not wearing traditional pants-wear (dresses, etc. included). For example, walking around with only a towel as if you just got out of a shower…perfectly acceptable. By the holiday’s standards, perhaps not society’s.

Great! I wasn’t wearing any and now I have an excuse to not get dressed all day! ~
