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.

We can't help it, it surprises us. We're used to looking up, but not that far up.

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.

Well, since he's likely American, I guess he'll have to settle for literally every person he's likely to meet every single day of his life. :(

Is it better to be pestered by the "Wow, how tall are you?" crowd, or the "Did you ever hear about the metric system? :smug:" coven?

We do the same in Canada, for personal height and weight at least. Everything else is in metric though.

I've never known even the :freep: 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.
