Ask the MB: Sunglasses at Night/Inside

Ask the MB: Sunglasses at Night/Inside
Q: Is it ever appropriate or acceptable to wear sunglasses indoors and/or at night? I'm not talking Oakley Blades with crazy-ass reflective lenses, but vintage Neostyles and Dunhills with soft blue and brown gradients. I know the official MB stance on the practice, but I hope against hope that there are exceptions.

A: We stand by the previously stated "blind people and assholes" rule (© Larry David), but with an added corollary: "or a famous musician."
