I had never heard of it before, and while we were filming outdoors on location, Mel says to Marty Feldman, Marty... Who's playing the doctor's assistant.
Your assistant, yeah.
He says, bend over and say to Gene, walk this way, and then crouch down and walk away.
And I said, Mel, what does that mean?
He said, I'll tell you later.
And so I took the cane, and I followed Marty after the camera started rolling, and I walked this funny walk, and everyone laughed afterwards.
And I said, now will you tell me what it means?
A man has a terrible case of hemorrhoids.
He goes into a drugstore and he says, have you got some talcum powder for me?
I've got terrible hemorrhoids.
And the pharmacist says, walk this way.
And he says, if I could walk that way, I wouldn't need the talcum powder.
And I said, where did that come from?
He says, it's an old vaudeville routine.
But I had never heard of it before.
