Pros and cons about being tall or short

[SteveG1988]

according to the center for disease control (US Government) i am taller than average, by almost a whole inch. Being 70 inches tall has advantages over being taller. Easier to buy off the rack at Walmart, I do not have to worry about fitting into most compact cars or bumping my knees on a bus,subway, or regional rail. If needed i can sleep in a vehicle without cramping up, i have done it across the back seat of a ford focus (could not get comfy on the front seat).

One advantage of being tall is that when you are going bald, it is harder for most people to notice since your hairline is above their heads.
