Thank you very much. But, I was planning on lining the mannequins up side by side to reflect the film.

Last night, I put one pair of mannequin legs in a pair of jeans and strapped them to my waist with two old ties. I used the drawstring in the Scarecrow’s sweatpants to attach his legs, facing backwards. At first, the Scarecrow’s feet dragged the ground. I fixed that, but was worried I’d made them too high and that people would not see them sticking out of my trenchcoat. Most people couldn’t. I entered the Kwik-E-Mart. There were fits of giggles as people noticed the extra legs. I checked for damage caused during the walk from my apartment under the guise of scratching a stubborn itch. A man standing a few feet away spotted the extra forward legs.
“Dude! You got an extra pair of legs!”
I responded with confusion “You mean I have eight legs?”
“No, dude! You have four.”
“What? First you say I have an extra pair. Now you say I’m missing a pair?”
I counted my legs. This allowed me to reveal the rear pair he had missed.
“Hey, how 'bout a foot rub?”
“Umm, thanks. But I don’t swing that way.”
“Dude! What a killer costume!”
“What costume?”
“You have six legs.”
“I know that. They’ve been there every day of my life.”
At this point, his girlfriend intervened. She explained that he’d had too much to drink, and that she was very embarrassed. I could hear them as they went to a neighboring aisle. The man was smarter than I’d given him credit for.
“It’s a costume. But, the best part is that he’s so frickin’ serious.”
They ended up just ahead of me in the checkout line. During that minute or so, he attempted to convince her that my additional legs were fake or to get me to break character and admit it. This led to my convincing another man behind me that I was born with six legs, and elementary school had been very dificult as a result.
Before he left, the man said “I’ll lay down a hundred dollars, that if I lift that coat I won’t find six legs.”
Again I told him “I don’t swing that way.”
Absolutely mortified at the way he was treating a man with the misfortune to be born with four extra legs, his girlfriend dragged him from the store.
