LEGS

Legs are convenient: attachments
used by human beings for climbils
into street cars, elevators automo-
biles and other modes Of transporta.
tion. At other times We just let them
'tangle from our waistlines.
Legs originally we're designed in
pairs. for human beings to get around
on. But we've outgrown them. The
only really useful leg today is the leg
Of ham or the leg OF mutton.
Legs still constitute the only real
excuse for burlesque shows. of course:
and they're an aid in kicking cats ard
unwelcome suitors. But a. things to
walk on. We keep them only for emer-
gencies.
This applies only to human beings.
With horses. cows. pigs. and like ami.

use for a leg on each corner.

favor Of legs. II we didn't have them
