Funny; this one actually makes sense when taken in context. As a pilot, I can tell you that you absolutely *can’t* fly by the seat of your pants. It means to tell what the plane is doing by feeling the pressure of gravity of your body against the seat (okay, of the plane!). You can literally be flying upside-down in a cloud, and not even know it! It’s wild!

I always thought it was referring to be given an orbital wedgie. (That is, being swung around someone’s head by the the seat of your pants.)
The expression means, “don’t bother planning ahead,” incidentally.
The Lorax can do it without wearing pants.
At first I thought Millie got another spanking.
Maybe if Millie spun her tail as fast as a helicopter blade…
That only works for foxes with two tails.
