4. Short!

He's so short . . .

. . . he can sit on a dime and swing his legs

. . . he has to look up to look down

. . . if he fell off a curb he'd break his leg

5. .... he does not go out the door, he goes UNDER it

from my Navy days.

7. From "People Will Talk" (1951 Gary Grant movie)...

...Professor Elwell, you're a little man. It's not that you're short. You're... little, in the mind and in the heart. Tonight, you tried to make a man little whose boots you couldn't touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world. And as it turned out...you're even littler than you were before.

Great speech at the end of the film by the mysterious Mr. Shunderson.

8. Is he a Chimpy Shrimp or a Shrimpy Chimp?

I've also noticed the amazing shrinking man. Someone on DU posted a great article about how someone can appear smaller in stature when they can't speak well. It's amazing he hasn't disappeared completely.

9. I was noticing the same thing

I was going through the yahoo slide show of photos this evening, and I almost fell over when I saw they had put these two photos back to back in their collection:



It's not even just the posture, it's the gesture, too - lifting up vs. oppressing.
