No one’s allowed inside without a shirt or shoes. You block the path of the three ponies trying to enter your workplace. Standing tall, comically towering over the little ponies, you point to the no shirt, no shoes, no service sign. The purple pegasus holds up a hoof, showing that she’s wearing horseshoes. The unicorn objects. “How can we purchase shirts if we’re not allowed inside?” She raises a valid point. Oh what the heck, rules are meant to be broken. Or maybe… Maybe there’s another way. “Hold on a second,” you say before the ponies can trot off. You glance around the store. Small and medium aren’t popular men’s shirt sizes, and you grab three from the clearance pile. They’re still too big for the ponies, but now they’re good to go. You let them in and they thank you and introduce themselves. The unicorn is Rainbow Flash, and the pegasi are Feathermay and Lily Blossom. The three ponies go about their shopping and you’re thankful that you avoided a conflict. The ponies are, in a word, adorable, and they’re also the most courteous shoppers you’ve ever seen. When they move something as they’re browsing, they put it back where they found it. You’re glad you let them in. Feathermay turns around, inadvertently mooning you in the process. It’s abundantly clear that the shirts do absolutely nothing to keep the ponies modest. You chuckle. The letter of the law has been followed, and the ponies aren’t shirtless. If your boss wants to complain when he comes in tomorrow and inevitably checks the security footage, he can change the sign to say no shirt, no shoes, no pants, no service.
