I’m guessing they’re an old married couple who do this kind of thing all the time.

Black shirts, as well, so I'm going to assume metalheads at least partially. I bet they're nice as pie and fun to talk to.

As the token short old lady in the supermarket, I love Bob.

It is a tall person's civic duty to assist the vertically challenged when requested (I've learned not to assume that a short person needs my help).

But who puts stuff on the high shelf in the first place. Tall people are the solution to a problem they created.

Capitalism demands high shelves to jam as many products into the smallest place possible. Both tall and short are victims of this.

I went to several concerts in my youth. Collective Soul had a remarkable number of very tall people, all blocking everyone’s view. I really wondered what it was about that band that brought them all together.

I appreciate people who have a sense of humor about themselves.

I'm pretty tall as well and used to get self concious about being up the front, but end of the day, i paid for the same ticket as everyone else and a band without a mosh would be insanely boring. Also if we all looked the same, we'd get typed of looking at each other
