La Jambe (The Leg) 

Sporting events can sometimes be split into two ties and each is designated as a leg.  This makes sense in our binary either/or, on/off, male/female, left leg/right leg world. 

Sometimes a journey can be broken into several stages, each of which is centipedically designated as a "leg". 

Comedian Tim Vine is fond of asking, How can someone be on their last legs?  It's their only legs.  South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius might be inclined to disagree. 

The legs on offer here have all the usual features in a nondescript fashion: ankle, knee, femur, tibia, body hair - coarse, curled, short - on the upper thigh.  The dexter is a perfect mirror image of the sinister.  We cannot even find the usual slight couple of degrees lean to one side, owing to minutely differing lengths, that is common to the majority of humans.  Patrick Vieira had one leg significantly longer than the other and yet he went on to become a World Cup winning professional footballer.  Suffered with some back problems, though. 

The specimen on display here is not Patrick Vieira.  Wrong ethnicity, for one thing. 

Put one foot in front of the other, settle your legs into a confident stride, move on, nothing much to see at this juncture.
