LOL, When I was a kid in Mn we had to get to church early to get a good seat in back.
My sister told me to "sit in the front row" at school. I did, and I'd never want to sit in the back row. There is an unobstructed view in the front, plus I can hear better. I have also noticed there is a tendency for people who are 6'2" and taller and those who have BIG hair to do the same thing.
