well I'm short 5'61/2" worth of short in fact 5'10" is generally the official figure meted out for similarly short, if more famous, better looking and richer folks like Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Dustin Hoffman and Michael J Fox I like being short so much I used to wear short trousers in primary school all winter lots of grazed knees from wildness in the playground: my knees were permanently in a scrape the principle advantage of being short is having more space the principle disadvantage is trousers that are too long and/or baggy, unless one has someone around like idleberry to take the hems up, or is rich like Tom Cruise and can afford a tailor my ego would preclude me from being taller, of course, because if I were taller I'd have to be somebody else I hope this mail is short enough :) Gordon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
