Does your job require you be on the road many days out of the year? Is constantly moving from city to city a bitch that leaves you exhausted and depressed, particularly about the fact that you spend more time in airports than you do at home, and average more hours sleeping in a chair than a bed? There are things you can do to make the experience more bearable, you know. Like maybe donning a pair of panties and a bra that brings out the color in your eye? One business consultant who refused to be named but posed for the picture at left tried it, loves it and is pretty sure that while it might not be for everyone, you might love it, too.
A man who flies US Airways in women’s skimpy clothing, including little more than undergarments at times, said Wednesday that he does so to make business travel more fun, and complies with employees’ requests to cover up – though they rarely ask. The 65-year-old Phoenix man…aid he works as a business consultant and flies several times a month as a preferred customer on US Airways.

Sam Zell got himself in a bit of a pickle the other day, for the grave offense of wearing jeans (Jeans! They’re for peasants!) to the Union League Club. Because of his choice of pants, Zell, who was coming to give a lecture on the outlook of real estate, was barred from entering. Organizers thankfully came to the rescue, wrapping a “borrowed camel-hair dress coat” around his shoulders (how did that help the jean situation?), a trick that somehow worked wonders. Zell was able to give his lecture, said everything sucks and everyone went home happy, especially those in the audience who got a look at Zell’s chest hair.
