One of the distinct advantages about being short is that people have a tendency to underestimate you so it only takes half the effort to impress. &;-)

The only problem with being short is.................................

You are always the last to know when it starts to rain!

The stature of a man is measured by the strength of his character, not his height.

I'm that height. It is just where I want to be too. As a tree planter, I never had the back trouble the tall boys did. In fact, I never had a bit of back pain ever, and was never bested physically by anyone more then an inch or so taller in any scrap.

Tall is overrated. I would rather be stocky and at the perfect height of five foot six inches then be handicapped by too much physical stature. Tall guys do make a satisfying splat when toppled, but that's it. ;-)

The problem is, I seem to be bending over just a little too much lately.
