In that process of advancing alternate trouser-legs we call locomotion do we not consciously, or unconsciously, follow in the direction indicated by the point of the crease?
What then would happen if the crease were transferred from the front to the sides?
The Crab alone of all living creatures exhibits in its legs a formation that corresponds to the human trouser-crease.
This ridge-like formation or crease occurs in the side of the Crab’s legs, not in the front as in the human species!
And the slogan of the Crab (as everyone knows) is, “First make sure you’re right and then go sideways.”
Shall we too go sideways?
Charlie Chaplin is the only human creature whose feet go East and West as his face travels North and his trouser-creases are so complicated it would be difficult to classify them.
Perhaps they hold the secret of his centrifugal orientation, his inexplicable fascination.
Who knows!
