Question

...what would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way?

Answer 1

First, the common chair:

|
|
L-----
| |
| |

Now, to accomodate those ostrich knees of yours:

|
|
L-----
|
|

which of course would result in the 'sitee' falling face foward into
his/her/its sushi -- an unforgivable fau-paux remedied so

|
| O____ <---a sturdy chest cushion
| O |______ anchored to the table
L-----
|
|

But of course, such constant pressure on the chest would inhibit
repiratory function, so necessary among you mortals, so:

/---| O2 | <-- an oxygen tank and
mask, | > you twit!
| O____
| O |______
L-----
|

Such a setup may ultimately interfere with your eating and astication
(look it up), therfore:
_
| | <---I.V. bottle and tube
|_|
|
\ /---| O2 |
\ | >
| O____
| O |______
L-----
|

The I.V., being fed into your circulatory system, would certainly
benefit from increased circulation. To prevent that nasty ole pinching
effect on the seat pan (no, not the guy with the pipes) on the legs:

_
| | <---I.V. bottle and tube
|_|
|
\ /---| O2 |
\ | >
| O____
| O |______
|
|

and there you have it. what chairs would look like if the knees went
southward.

I think his knees bent the wrong way?
