What are some of the dumb quotes or things people have said to you about your height.<br /> <br /> Heres my kicker from the last few weeks.<br /> <br /> Standing at the elevator this professionally dressed 40ish looking woman does your typical look, look back, look, look back scenario, then finally hits me with the typical "Did you know you are tall?"<br /> <br /> Of course this is an absurd statement to say in the first place, but I politely said, "Yup, a bit bigger than the average bear", or some other non-chalant quip I've developed over time.<br /> <br /> Then she doubles back with "No. Really. Did you know that you are REALLY tall".<br /> <br /> Umm. Yeah. 30 years of this, figured it out by now. Got you on that one Roger Dodger, I think in my head, politely nodding my head with a little "Yup."<br /> <br /> Finally, I kid you not, she uttered this gem "Are you a mutant?"<br /> <br /> I wanted to say so many different things like "Uh, yeah, you know Wolverine he is my brother" or "Yeah, I used to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle". Fortunately, I took the higher.. er taller road and went for the stairs.<br /> <br /> What lines and/or stories have others had to deal with?
