A friend of mine once told me that he didn't "trust short people because their brains are too close to their butts". In my opinion, a valid argument. However, I'm not bashing short people in general, I am rather fond of the less-than-average height community. I mean, without short people, everyone ranging from mediocre to incredibly tall would miss out on so much.
1. Christmas elves wouldn't exist.
I mean, c'mon. It's not like people of actual average height can make toys by hand. Without the shorties, Santa would be lonely.
2. Who would ride Shetland ponies?
Aside from children and short people...no one.
3. Many movies would have character gaps.
Who would play dwarfs in the Lord of the Rings or Narnia films? Again, not to mention the countless Christmas specials that would be missing Santa's little helpers.
4. Who could work in the coal mines?
I know children can't work in those hazardous conditions after child-labor laws were enacted, but tall people can't fit in their generally. I would bet that most of the miners today who work in the earth's crevices are under 5'7''.
I know that there are several more contributions that I have not included but I can set aside a small portion of time later to jot them down. Not that I'm short on time, I love spending a little bit of my day blogging it up for the common good. Remember to be original and don't hate on the short people. They have feelings too...even if they can only access one at a time because of their small stature (kinda like Tinkerbell). Cause loving the little people is NOT so overrated.
You are forgiven. :-)
