Joey Merlino wears shorts and has for years down in Florida. The shorts thing is an old school way of thinking that goes way back to the early 20th century and does not really apply anymore.

Now jean shorts for example? Fuck that , no fucking way would that ever been acceptable! But a nice pair of dress shorts in the middle of summer in South Florida on say the golf course or hanging out socializing at a local restaurant during the day? That is in fact acceptable.
