I’d be interested in knowing where he got the idea.  I did it myself for a short time after seeing the character Evil Eye Fleagle in the 1959 movie “Li'l Abner.”  Maybe they got the idea from Chuck.
 
See it at about 1:04 in this link.

(I was surprised to see that Donna Douglas and Valerie Harper were in that movie.)

Later, I did it for several years as an electrician checking traction motors in pits under diesel locomotives.  There was only about 30” clearance.  Girls used to do a squat while dancing and I would match them.  When they got as low as they could go and stood up, I’d go even lower.
