In Europe belts are mandatory

I'm having a hard time understanding this one... Are you literally saying that belts that hold people's pants up are mandatory?

[maxsilver]

It's probably a reference to seatbelts

[smhenderson]

Duh, thank you, that is completely obvious and why I didn't get that reading it is beyond me!

[AzzieElbab]

Yes. Down with with the Big Apparel

[jrockway]

I've been to Europe and never wore a belt, so they must mean something else.

Count your blessings, my friend.

[michaelmcdonald]
