There’s tall and then there’s tall.
And when you’re tall, you inevitably face the exact same series of questions about your extraordinary ability to be slightly closer to the sun than your curious conversation-mate.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if a joke was made about the weather being different up there because, you know, tall.
