52. Heh, we live in the same region, and someday I will meet you.
I am 5'2" and I will call your shameless ass out about it. I will make you reveal your footwear. Or else I will swear I am also 5'5".

Wait, I think I might BE 5'5". That's the ticket! I'm going to get that license fixed. Then we can back each other up about it. Will this work? ;-)

13. I "lost" an inch and a quarter
during my first pregnancy. I freaked out and made them re-measure me. The Dr said it was from my belly pulling my spine inward. I eventually measured normally (5'10") but it was a very bizarre thing.

43. Ummm...mules are the sterile offspring of horses and donkeys..
and as such, I don't think they have any sex organs.

So don't go around telling people you are hung like a mule. Tell them you are hung like a BULL.

44. Ok, mules have sex organs, they just don't work
My husband (big country boy) says that while mules may have external sexual organs, they don't 'work'. He agrees with me that 'hung like a mule' is not the kind of comparison the average guy would like to make. He says stick with the bull.

More than half of which is legs.

Before you go saying that's a good thing, try to find pants that fit an almost non-existent torso and legs that stop about two inches below the sternum!

I'm one of the shorter men on my mother's side of the family. Lots and lots of tall Swedes/Germans. Grandmother came in at 6' even. Cousins who are 7' plus.
