If I walk to my mailbox in my underwear, is there some ordinance against it?

Of course, I wouldn't do that. Not today. It's 28 degrees outside.

Must be a male? They don't say "skirt". Must be pants as opposed to underwear? Is underwear legally indecent on your own property?

Why don't they just visit the mailbox streaker and have a conversation and issue a warning? Why a public announcement?

I'm guessing with everyone staying home this is the new risque thing to do for a few male residents?

The whole thing is strange.

It's too tempting to go to all that bother dressing for just a quick out-and-back-in. Bet most of America does the un-dressed and dash on occasion. Or wish they could.
