And then there’s the undress code: Employees...

And then there’s the undress code: Employees of LFP Inc. in Beverly Hills were informed that they must adhere to some new, conservative dress requirements, which outlaw “T-shirts, jeans, exercise wear, leggings, tennis shoes and work-combat-style boots.” The memo explained that “many professional firms” occupy LFP’s new building “and, as a result, we will be changing our degree of ‘casualness.’ ”

Oddly enough, no mention was made of the dress requirements for those whose pictures appear in LFP Inc.’s best-known publication:

Hustler magazine.

Food for thought: A reader got a good howl out of one entry in the “Dog and Cat Kennels” section of Pac Bell’s directory for Culver City & Marina del Rey.

Our half-scoop: You may recall we published a photo of one of the “Guilty” billboards around town the other day before finding out that there were an equal number of “Innocent” signs. The blurbs were a promotion by talk radio station KFI, which prompted protests from both sides in the Simpson case on Tuesday.

Judge Lance Ito said he would instruct Sheriff’s Department drivers who were transporting jurors to avoid the signs.

Fine. But what about all those roadside ads for Not Guilty jeans?

List of the day: Some other controversial billboards of recent years:

* “Less Music by Dead Guys” (KQLZ-FM, “Pirate Radio”): Condemned by the Duke Ellington Society of Southern California as well as older (and still-living) music fans.

* “Screw the Rules” (also KQLZ): Banned by the city of Irwindale for being in bad taste.

* “More Hair-Raising Rides Than the RTD” (Hollywood Park): Denounced by an angry county transit official. Some non-Republicans, meanwhile, were upset about another track ad: “A Race Even a Democrat Could Win.”

* “When More Than Your Attitude Needs Adjusting,” chiropractor David Reuben: Its 3-D feature, a mannequin hanging by its fingertips, resulted in traffic jams in Saugus as well as several calls to authorities.

* “The Best Breasts in L.A. Without Plastic Surgery” (Popeyes Chicken): Taken down after protests by breast cancer survivors.

* “When You Can’t Leave the Office. Or Won’t” (Wok Fast): Take-out diner’s ad pictured Daryl Gates at a time when he was refusing to step down as L.A. police chief. Removed after threats by Gates’ attorneys.

* “From El Segundo, You Have a Perfectly Clear View of the Smog That Hangs Over L.A.” (city of El Segundo): Beach burg’s unprovoked attack brought diplomatic protest from L.A., which was ignored.

* “Killer Storms?--Yes; Killer Tomatoes?--No” (KCBS news): Hard-hitting Channel 2 ad inspired a tongue-in-cheek demonstration by cast members of the “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” movie. No reaction from storm fans.

Citizen policing: “Our friend, a Japanese businessman’s wife, told us she was having trouble locating a restaurant in Beverly Hills,” writes Paul Shepard of Gardena. “Noticing a cop on the corner, she approached him to get directions. But her English is a bit uncertain, and Japanese syntax got the better of her. She blurted out, ‘Can I help you?’

“The cop threw his arms in the air, laughed and exclaimed: ‘Oh yes, please do!’ ”
