Yeah - I saw that. Just ticked me off big time. I wish I could sue for all the short jokes I hear, being a petite woman. At work the other day, they were calling me a midget, a dwarf, a munchkin and I took it in good stride. I'm five feet tall so I don't qualify anyway. The funny thing is that there IS discrimination against small people. Tall people get better jobs, promotions, etc. It's a proven fact. Where's my lawyer? Where's the ACLU on discrimination of us short people? What about that obnoxious song that one guy wrote years ago with the lyrics "short people got no reason to live?"

What about that obnoxious song that one guy wrote years ago with the lyrics "short people got no reason to live?" It was Randy Newman, a brilliant song writer and lyricist.
That was just the refrain of the song, which was meant as a protest against discrimination of all types.
The chorus of the song is:
Short People are just the same As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)
Though many people didn't take it that way and saw it as a hurtful song.
BTW, I think petite women are the sexiest people on G-d's green earth. The lovely Mrs. B.S. Roberts is just shy of 5 ffet tall.
