Show me a tall guy who's a winner on the basketball court and I'll show you a guy who can't fit into a sleek Japanese made sports car ! Show me a guy who can effortlessly pluck his breakfast cereal box from the top shelf at the supermarket and I'll show you a guy who whacks his head of low ceiling light shades on a regular basis ! Tall or small - if you are either extreme, I'm sure you think the grass is greener on the other side ! |
