Too many armpits.
Too much deoderant required.
Too much ironing.
Exorbitant laundry/dry cleaning costs.

Squids don't go to proms because there are too many spagetti straps on
the prom gowns.

It would take too long for squids to undress for their B & D sessions.
And then, how many handcuffs would it take? And would they still work
since squids don't have hands? Do they use Chinese handcuffs on their
tentacle tips? Is there such a thing as "a tentacle job"?

A quasi-relevant news item:

Octopus found to "walk" on two arms

Two kinds of Indian Ocean octopus are found to "walk" on two of their
arms while using the other six to disguise themselves from predators,
US researchers reported on Thursday.

The walking of Octopus marginatus (from Indonesia) and Octopus
aculeatus (from Australia) was videotaped by researchers at the
University of California Berkeley and Universitas Sam Ratulangi in
North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The discovery contradicts the longtime belief that hard bones and
skeletal muscle are needed for walking.

They "move bipedally along sand using a rolling gait" in a way that
"differs from their normal crawling, which usually involves several
arms sprawling around the body, using the suckers to push and pull the
animal along," said the researchers in a report published in Friday's
issue of the journal Science.

"By walking, both O. marginatus and O. aculeatus are able to move
quickly while using six of their arms to remain disguised -- O.
marginatus perhaps as a rolling coconut and O. aculeatus as a clump of
algae tiptoeing away."
