What???

You occasionally get these stories in the paper that you read, and then go "No, that can't be right" and you read them again but they still make no sense.  Here's one - young girl off for a holiday in the Balearics is stopped at the airline check-in desk and told that her denim shorts are too revealing, and that she must change before she will be allowed through.  Now you can argue whether this is a proper exercise of the airline's authority - they say they have a "dress code", but I've never heard of such a thing - but that's not what makes this story so unbelievable.  They insisted that she changed there and then, at the check-in desk, in front of all the other queuing passengers!  So if she was revealing too much flesh in her shorts, imagine what she would be revealing with them off??  Like I say, I kept re-reading it and thinking - that makes no sense.
