REPARATIONS FOR TALL WHITE GUYS

[hoosierskypilot]

Reparations for the Japanese interned in the U.S. during WWII. Reparations for blacks because their great, great, great grandfathers were slaves.

Now, there is yet another class of Americans continually discriminated against, and we want ours.

That would be tall, white American men. We have been persecuted all our lives, and we want payback!

Think about it! All cars are made for runts like you. You short people (anyone under 6'2") can buy clothes off the rack in a store! That's obscene! I'm sick of it!

I'm tired of hitting my head on door closers. (The guy who came up with that one ought to be put to sleep like a dog!) I'm tired of no one having my shoe size. I'm tired of having to look at everyone's greasy scalp while the world looks up my nose.

I'm tired of having to bend over so far to use a sink. I'm tired of the distance twixt the toilet and myself (the little woman complains the floor is messy...I say, "Why don't you stand four feet from the toilet and see how accurate you are?")

So, why is this action limited to white guys? Cause everyone else is gonna get something from me (even though I never owned a slave) and I want what's mine!

Hot dog....hubby's 6'2".....how much can we look forward too?....we need a new car real bad.

He won't fit it it anyway. I used to drive a 1987 Subaru GL Sedan - had to recline the front seat so far back that if someone pulled up next to me at an intersection, I would look over at them through the rear window. I don't test drive cars, I test sit them - eliminates ninety percent of cars on the market...

Oh yeah? Every time us short guys get on an elevator with you goofs and one of you farts I get these happy visions of Procrustes with his little saw...

[Jagdgewehr]

In addition to being a 6'2" left handed white guy, I have to wear a size 15 EE shoe/boot.

I'm deprived of many styles and choices in footwear because of my shoe size.

Does this mean extra reparations for me?

[Area51]

Weel it's bout damned time! I want MINE!

[WIladyconservative]

Oh yeah, and what about 6th grade girls looking down on us short ladies and patting us on the head? Could that be considered harrassment? I think I'm on to something here . . . .

There are a few benefits to being tall - you can see where you're going in a crowd. Your friends can find you in that crowd. If someone passes gas in that crowd, well... And heck, I gotten so used to my feet sticking out past the end of the mattress that if I am in a hotel and the bed is really long, I'll scoot down so my feet stick over the edge...

[Gumption]

Rear window, LOL!!!

(My laughter is not meant to belittle you)

[Dog Gone]

We invented the NBA for you guys. I can't help it if white guys can't jump.

[Tao Yin]

Sweet. Do you know who makes those door closers? If so, I smell class action!

Cha ching!

[Mr. Bird]

Yes, being tall in a crowd is cool. I make sure to tell my wife that all the time.

Funny story: I asked a friend of mine who is a dwarf how a concert was. His reply, "same as all the others, standing around, sniffin' butts".

[Nea Wood]

I am tired of people "asking me how the weather is up there".

I once heard of a guy who, when asked "How's the weather up there?" would spit on the person asking the question and say, "It's raining." :-)

[Jagdgewehr]

Seriously, I'm owed something for the anxiety I feel when riding on the Matterhorn bobsleds!

I get so worried that I'm going to bump my head going nine-o through those little tunnels.

[wku man]

Amen, bro. I'm 6-3 and can never find shirts with sleeves or tails long enough. The latter can be particularly upsetting for anyone in the room who witnesses me bending to pick something up off the floor. Maybe those folks deserve reparations, too?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[ValerieUSA]

uhh.. GUYS!? Would a tall white woman be sufficient reparations?

[mystery-ak]

Short People have nobody.....sorry I coudln't resist.....btw my older sister is 4'11" and she's 54...

[Dog Gone]

You're going to be asked to post pictures, you know.

[Desdemona]

5'2"? You're an amazon. Well, not really. My sister is about 5'2"-5'3". She doesn't exactly tower over me.

These poor guys who are tall...dudes, it goes both ways. The weather down here ain't much different than it is up there. The view on the other hand.... I can't imagine being scrunched like tall people are, but sitting in a chair where you're feet have no chance of hitting the floor...

Yep, I want reparations.

[ValerieUSA]

I post pictures all the time - I'm a photographer. *L*

[Dog Gone]

That's an awesome photograph.

And for tall men who are into slender legs, hooooooooo baby! ;-)

[Steve0113]

short, stocky white guys.

Bump!
