    I remember Larry Craig stated he had a WIDE stance and that is how his foot might have ended up crossing under the cubical wall into the next space. As for me, my paints confine my stance if they are around my knees. If I let them drop down to my ankles I can effect a much wider stance, my point being who while wearing an expensive suit lets their paints drop and drag on the floor of a public bathroom in an airport? Those places are nasty.
