Der Kyhe posted:Just some hearsay from various sources, similar with things like swearing like a sailor with Tourette's or other crude gestures to ensure that the censors/publicists will break their arm mashing the delete/do not broadcast-button. Oldpost quotin' here, but 30 Days Of Night director David Slade does this because apparently the English press prefers not to publish photos of people flipping the UK bird and he doesn't like to see himself in pictures.

Followed by "How tall are your parents" and "Do you play basketball" A friend of a friend who was over 6'8" used to have a T-shirt that said "No, do you play miniature golf?" You just point to it when asked the question.

You call all the talls and I'll call all the shorts, we'll have a meeting and see if we can get some kind of truce going. We're not really big fans of "WOW YOUR SO SHORT drat HOW DO DO A THING" anymore than you are of the tall-person version. Or we could attack the mediums.

I've never known even the est of my relatives to get mad about lightbulbs being labeled in watts instead of fractions of a horsepower, either. Could be because no other electricity-related thing has an imperial unit at all.
