If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it.

I just don't like being overweight.

I'm 6'2 and not a small person.

My legs are long but my body is too short.

Everyone expects me to be 9 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds when they meet me.

I wouldn't mind being a bit taller.

I am only six foot three, by the way.

I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women.
