How tall are you?

[obviousdude]

I wish I'm shorter (I sense eggs are flying in my direction) ... seats with little leg room on buses and on economy class, kena knock on the head as I move about and exit from buses and MRT ... shorter is better ... at least can blend into the crowd easily, easier to bend down to take pictures of subjects at eye level ...

but the pros:
no need to carry step ladder at events
no problem shooting a giraffe. (it'll think it's one of it's own)

Although most are female...There are many short famous male actors...Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, Tobey Maguire, Danny DeVito, Elijah Wood...others...

Generally tall ppl live shorter.....

That's because tall people keep banging their heads of the roof of buses and trains and low ceilings.

Oh i really hate it when i'm going down from the upper deck of the double-decker SBS bus... When i'm not aware of the protruding aircon duct, "BANG".. ouch..... :dunno: i'm only 174cm.. not that tall also.

also, i realized that shorter people are more creative and have more ideas than tall people.

I had my fair share of banging my head in buses, the worst was banging my head on a hanging TV set in a hospital waiting room..so malu..:embrass:

Standing at 1.89m..I'm proud of being tall, but being tall does have its disadvantages too.
Below i list some pros and cons of being tall.

Pros:
1.)Can slam dunk easily when playing basketball
2.)Can pick out items easily from the top shelfs at supermarket
3.)Cleaner air up there (the fart goes to the shorties)
4.)High chance getting a good view in most events
5.)Change light bulbs not needing the ladder
6.)Score more header shots in soccer
7.)Better angle of view (see more clevage then most ppl does:bsmilie: )

Cons:
1.)Alway kena top price (hit the head ) [by the way S'pore public transport is just not tall-man friendly.. ]
2.)Hard to find a girlfriend
3.)Hard time finding bed alive or dead
4.)Pay more for tripod
5.)Difficult to buy pants/jeans (lengths are usually not long enough)
6.)Takes longer time to dig a deeper trench or longer self-scrape
7.)Higher C.G. makes us feel unbalance easily
