Tall is crap (sometimes)
How shit is it to be tall?
crap basically.
Bang your head. Can't buy clothes. Butt of jokes. Centre of attention when you dont want it.
Pretty much not too good all round.
I'm not saying its a disaster but its not good.
Picture yourself not hearing or misunderstanding 80% of your conversations over a 10 year period.
Imagine banging your head off every so called 'normal' piece of street furniture and domestic building addition or even standard fittings.
Imagine ill fitting clothes, years of lack of coordination and poor social skills.
Imagine a bowl of chips flavoured with spicy barbeque sauce with a chicken burger on the side. Send me one.

I hear what you’re saying Mark because I’ve stood by your side over the years to hear the same inane, boring, inconsiderate and often insensitive question spurt from countless people’s lips; “How tall are you�. Ah feck off ya bunch of half baked nut pullers.
I know the world was designed for people about 6� shorter - eh, less tall – than you and it’s incredible how an extra half foot can cause so many inconveniences, but I have to say that you grossly underestimate your social skills, and always have. I’m granting myself full authority to tell you that you are actually a highly evolved communicator, musically, verbally and artistically. I can assure you that you leave a wake a smiles and affection behind you and you’re as a good a friend that anyone could wish to have. The man inside is taller than even he thinks.
