How Is It For You?
Before the jeans revolution of the 1960s it was quite rare to see a woman wearing trousers, except maybe as slacks for a party.
A lady once told me during WW2 that you could easily detect a spy, dressed up as a woman in a skirt. You just sat them down and then threw them a ball. If their knees snapped together it was obviously a man. A woman would spread her skirt to catch the ball.
I have noticed that if I drop something while I am working, even though I wear an apron, my knees snap together. How is it for you? Dennis.

I don't move as I'm already spread with my apron on ~ rofl :rofl:
-
Knees together (not that they've got a long way to go)
But then I never did get on with skirts :)
-
Knees together, but rarely seem to be quick enough to catch tiny objects and frequently end up crawling around the floor!! :-D
-
I seem to recall the original of this gender sorting exercise was written by Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer I think).
-
Given the relative position of pin and "chest", I wonder if it's really legs that need to clench to catch wayward objects!

George, the lady in question was the farmer's wife in Wales, who took me in as a London evacuee during the bombing. I never saw her read a book, but maybe she had read Mark Twain at school.
As for your suggestion, Joe, the mind boggles. Dennis.

Knees together. When I was thinner everything just fell through anyway!

Knees together. We seem to have a lot of ladies who wear trousers.
