JCC How tall are you?

Chest pain.

 

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Heart trouble specifically?

 

No, oddly enough. Esophageal spasms.

 

Perhaps you should stop swallowing.

 

I thought that tall people were being over-represented here, but then i remembered that people exaggerate their height even when they are standing in front you. lol

Mystery solved.

 

only short people do that tho.

 

I've met people who were an inch or so taller than me who claimed they were 3 and even 4 inches taller.

It's a personality type that likes to exaggerate (and at the same underestimates the intelligence of others), which is not determined by height.

Yes, I responded seriously to a joke.

 

Ironically I have dysphagia caused by achalasia. I have trouble swallowing.

I'm not very popular as you can imagine.

 

So you should not have been swallowing to begin with.

 

Oh, man... to Tom listen you must. I'm taller than most of the people I work with, and since photo-ops and group photos
are part of the routine, I have to force a smaller perspective all the time. I always move to the back of the group, pull my heels
out to flatten my arches, bend from the knees, push my midsection out, etc. etc. I can't just scruntch my neck down; it makes
everyone in front of me actually look like dwarves

. The last thing I want to do is look taller.

 

Then again, I usually drink heavily before these sessions, in which case, I don't give a damn.

 

Probably because it's a total blast.

Heyooooooo!
