I spent exactly one semester in a small college because I couldn't get financing. But while I was there, for some unknown reason it was declared "Spirit Week" yet they had no football team. They had various dress up days and contests going on, which I tried my best to stay out of. However one day while sitting around the student commissary playing euchre, I hear "Come on guys!!" They are having a Mr. Legs contest..... You guys have to be in it!!!" I'm thinking ' no I don't ' But I didn't say anything and I followed along.
As I entered the gymnasium, I noticed that the stands were packed with students, probably sixty percent women. They also had a screen erected that covered the Mr.Legs contestants from the waist up but left the legs exposed for judgment. The rules were who ever got the most applause won the contest. Since I really didn't want to be there in the first place, I was last in line.
There were about twelve guys in this line and the first guy started his walk and the crowd began to get loud. With each guy that began his walk, the crescendo of the crowd began to rise or fall depending on the popularity of the legs that the crowd saw walking. The guy right in front of me got a particularly loud ovation. Then it was my turn. The place went silent. You literally could have heard crickets except for two girls that politely clapped and one girl that clapped enthusiasticly. Ouch. I actually went out on a date with that girl later but the whole experience still stings a little.
