No I dont play basketball!! :damn:

I swear to god, I've had so many people lately strike up a conversation with me, starting with "Wow you're tall! Do you play basketball/rugby?" purely because I'm 6' 7".

For crying out loud, do these people just walk up to midgets and ask "Do you work in the circus?" :damn:

Really gets me, that does. At least say hello first, for crying out loud. :stare:

Hello. 6'7" ??? Do you paint or do touch up the Sistine Chapel ceiling? Is a ladder involved when you do? Sorry, could not resist:D

[FIREWALL]

Your getting a taste first hand how minorities and people who are different.


Sadly being different is perseved bad or odd.

Sure you don't, I have it on good authority that you do play basketball.:yep:

Lets see - tall people make better basketball players. They have an unfair advatage of being close to the basket making it easier to sink a ball! Get used to it.

Shorter people have advantages too, such as fighter pilots. Shorter people in the cockpit - 5'6" to 5'9" are ideal for example. Why? Bodily abuse is why. Shorter people have the advantage of having their heart closer to their brain, which makes the blood supply route shorter, allowing for more abuse when pulling G's with less chance of blacking out.

So maybe you should run around asking if short people are fighter jocks! :D

In the end - to each his own place in the world. Take advantage of the gifts you are given!

Plus for the last bit in bold. :up:


P.S. I am not a fighter jock. Dowly saw to that. :nope:

Well Kapitan Phillips... I'd just relax. Big boys like you on average don't enjoy the longest of life spans, nor do your bones withstand the ravages of time as good as a smaller person.

For big kahunas like you life really is too short!!

So just take it easy, chill, and hell, maybe you should see what all the fuss is about with basketball. My older brother did and he said it was cool.

Im with you on this one, though im only 6'3", everyone assumes i play basketball. To be honest I dont even like basketball, i used to be a sprinter and a defence player in football. Now I just ride downhill as my physical hobbie, but because im an idiot i do it one a bike with no suspension, like it better that way.

Of course you don't we all know you don't, your a real man going to the pub and throwing the book at Gordon Brown, sock it to the man KP.

[Oberon]

Thank god! I thought it was just me although mine was always 'Do you play Rugby?'

NO!!!!

Just because I'm 6'2" and stocky, does not turn me into an insta-Rugby player!! :x

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I like to mess with people who wear NY Yankees caps too

"Who won the World Series last year?"

"Uhhh.."

[Type941]

[Jimbuna]

I've a colleague who is 6' 8 1/2".....he can't fit in a patrol vehicle so he's always allocated foot patrol :lol:
Oh yeah.....and he's sick of hearing an old brit saying "Tall in height = short in length" :p

Hahaha, great saying. Personally i much prefer the roman one iwhich states that there is a correlation between the size of a mand nose and his weding vegetable.
