I see a hornets nest being stirred up here. By the way, being tall isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just a little addition from the vertically challenged wing over here

It's not easy being short I have a h*ll of a time reaching things in the cabinet over the fridge!
It's difficult, much like the reflection your intersting hairdew creates on the crystal of your watch.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to stand less than 6'6" tall.

Being shorter is almost identical to being 6'6", the only difference being that everytihing around you will be about eight inches taller :

Well, you can't always find clothes 'off the rack' (sometimes you get mistaken for BEING the rack, lol). Shoes can be difficult to find (size 13) and finding a car that you're comfortable driving can limit your choices (thankfully, I fit nicely in the superior German cars) and flying coach is very uncomfortable, unless you request the emergency exit seats (which I always do, and will pay extra for).

However, at movies, sporting events or parades, being 6'6" is great! It's also great when you meet a supermodel.

Yeah, all of the super models I meet are way to tall for me. I have to keep blowing them off . As far as the movies and sporting events go, how is it that no matter where I sit I always end up with somebody your height sitting DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME What, do you guys look for the short guys to sit in front of

Yes... it's in the tall guy code of ethics. Page 45, section 3, paragraph 1 clearly states, "whenever attending a public event it is mandatory to seek out the shortest male and stand or sit directly in front of him."

Sorry, I don't make the rules, I just follow them.

First of all, we prefer the term vertically challenged Second, getting tossed against that velcro wall starts to sting after a while!

Yeah! anymore over sensitive and I wouldn't be allowed on the rides at the fair. I'm not so sure that line is always at the same height.
