My thighs are thicker than my wallet

The first time I heard of a ‘thigh gap’ I asked myself “do I have one?”. My question was answered after one quick look in the mirror. I never quite understood the desire for it. Was it because I didn’t have it or was it because no-one would ever squat down between my knees with a measuring tape to build the next record breaking (short) zipline from one wiggly thigh to another?
