It’s been a long time since I’ve posted, but I finally feel liberated to say something I’ve felt for a very long time . . .
I don’t like short people all that much.
In fact, I really don’t like short people all that much. They’re just, well, short and always needing my help with things like opening doors or reaching something. And I’m always bumping into them at places like the supermarket and bookstore. And they’re always bumping into me or — better yet — getting in my way because they don’t appreciate that normal, tall people have longer strides and naturally take up more room than they do. Their ’short-people’ space doesn’t equate. To the short people out there: You can’t walk in front of a normal, tall person like you can all your short-people friends and not rudely disrupt their pace or space — Be considerate, will ya’!
Kids? They’re Ok — They’re born short, and a good chunk of them will grow out of it. And anyone who’s genetically very, very short. No problem there — They understand what I’m talking about, if just in reverse.
But back to the average, ordinary short people . . .
They just piss me off. Their ’shortness’ means there’s less shelves, which means places like supermarkets have to be wider and longer . . . just to accommodate their shorter stature. And I’m paying for that more-than-necessary real estate! And when they rent cars they’re always pulling the seats forward, causing me to smash my knees against the steering wheel when I first get in the car!
About the only thing they’re good for is a good view at the movies . . . and one really, really funny song.
Oh, and they’re always poking me in the eye with their way-too-large umbrellas.
Thank You, Rand Paul! You’ve lifted my spirits and my until-now repressed dislike of short people. Gosh, if I were from Kentucky I’d surely vote for you . . . but then again, you’ll probably hold it against me for not being from Kentucky, won’t you?
Huh, sort of conflicted now that I think about it.
Typical liberal. Dislike someone for no reason of any substance. I bet short people really don’t like you either.
Gail, I’ll be brief and use short words so a short person like yourself can understand
I’M USING SARCASM TO RIDICULE RAND PAUL’S APPALLING FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY BY STEPPING INTO AN OBVIOUSLY FAILED SITUATION AT A STATE-LEVEL TO REMEDY OVERT ACTS OF RACISM AS PART OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. IT’S RAND PAUL’S SHORT INTELLECT THAT LENDS ITSELF TO A SATIRICAL VEHICLE OF MAKING FUN OF SHORT PEOPLE.
I don’t often ’shout’ in any form of written communication, but I think it’s worth it to get the point across. I like short people — I just don’t like people with short intellects, especially when they question acts our Government have taken that have so obviously been of benefit to us all.
I can’t imagine what kind of United States we would live in today (or even if it would still exist) if it were a place that allowed one Citizen to deprive another Citizen of fair access to places, products, and services just because they were black.
