Scene 220: The Mall

I'm walking in the mall, when I hear a faint little voice call up to me from far, far below. It's this tiny, frail old lady with huge glasses. She's maybe four-feet tall and 60lbs. She looks up at me all aghast and says:

Frail Old Lady: Are you seven feet?
Me: No. I'm 6-foot-5.
Frail Old Lady: ALMOST seven feet!
Me: No, not really. 6-foot-5.

What's another 7 inches from all the way down there though, right?

People do that shit to me all the time. If you were 5'5", NO ONE would say "Wow, you're almost six feet tall."

I get that too and I'm only 6'!! People can be so ignorant at times. I used to get comments like: "Is it cold up there?", "Did your parents keep you in a grow bag?". Often these come from small men whose growth was probably stunted by smoking or a bad diet and who would give anything to be tall like us - they're just jealous and/or intimidated!
