Tall people get discriminated against too: they have this selection mechsnism whereby tall people only get bashed over the cranium and taken to the hospital. I believe it's called a 'doorway'....

And i don't know about you but i've never met an average person. I'd love to know how recent their figures are and where they came from especially when you consider that in a recent survey it was found that the dutch are the tallest people in europe.

When exceptionally tall people stick out their elbows and rest them on my head, I become really annoyed. Luckily, MY elbow is at ribcage height.
