Don't be too scared by the words "formal dinner" these days.

We had one at our company function and the director of operations showed up in a set of khaki shorts, birkenstocks, and a hawaiian print shirt.

Everyone else was dressed to the nines when they walked in and before you know it we were all naked.

Wait, that was the plot to a really bad porno movie... not real life experience.

Sorry!
