I hear Randy Newman singing

Milo is a kid. I doubt he’s that short for his age.

L. B. Stubbers……..Called ’’Stubby’’ for short. (Sorry….I couldn’t help saying it.)

At 5’6" I can’t decide if I’m the world’s tallest short person or the world’s shortest tall person.

As a member of the Vertically Challenged community…

“Now here’s a short word from the Representative of The ANT PPL…”

The Vice President is Mr. Short

Their motto: “Don’t Step on Me!” (Oh all right…. it’s a variation of “Don’t Tread on Me”)

Short people got no business round here.

Just think of all the bumps on the head that short people avoid.

As I am nearing the late 60’s I have lost 2" in height. I consider myself shorter even though I am still 6’2". It’s all perspective.

Opus forgot how short he is.

I’ve never been taller than 5’2". By now I’m down to 5’. One reason I like living in Mexico is that here I am not short, just of average height. Sometimes in a crowd, I am the tallest person there!

Oh, the painful, yet calm repose of our beloved penguin.
