Tie it to a cat ;)

Lmao this reminds me of something that happened back in the day at my grandmother's house.

When my cousin was living there, he got in some trouble and was given house arrest. He managed to take the ankle monitor off and put it around the neck of one of my grandmother's cats so he can go out that night. The problem was the cat eventually went off into the woods...

I'm pretty sure you know who was waiting for him when he got home :spin:

"which side of your toast do you butter?"
It doesn't matter, since whenever I drop it, it lands butter-side down.

In which case, you butter both sides. Then you're guaranteed to drop it, but at least one buttered side will still be intact.

Actually, both of those situations would cause the toast (and cat, if included) to hover above the ground, revolving at a steadily increasing rate until the point where it's moving above the speed of light.

So about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the protozoic era?

Unless in the rare case where the toast lands rightside up, in which case, both buttered sides of the toast will be salvaged. The probability of achieving this increases as your speed in goats per mile (gpm) decreases.

He is a chiropractor, so I suppose he can make folks infinitesimally taller or shorter.

I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

I'm 6'4" (193 cm). I'm the tallest person in my immediate family. Both of my parents are short at 5'9" and none of my grandparents were tall. My uncle was 6'5" before he shrunk and 2 of my cousins are 6'1" or 6'2" but everybody else in my family is under 6'. Being tall is cool, but it has its disadvantages. I often hit my head on door jambs and ceiling fans. I have to duck to go through some doors. My feet hang off twin and "full" sized beds and I can't stretch out on most couches. Riding in cars can be annoying. The front seat of many cars is cramped, and sitting in the back seat of a lot of cars is simply impossible. I also tend to scare girls off because I'm tall and bald and weigh 260 pounds. It's nice at concerts because I can see over just about everyone's heads, but when somebody decides to crowd surf I have to be very careful to avoid getting kicked in the head. It's difficult to find clothes that fit in normal clothing stores. I have short legs and a long torso, so buying jeans is easy but most shirts are too short. I wear 3xl T-shirts even though they're really too wide for me. I could shop at big and tall stores, but they're so damn expensive and I can't afford to. It sucks when buying shirts at concerts because they often don't carry shirts in my size and they often cost $5 more than small through large when they do have them. It's nearly impossible to blend into crowds. That being said, I wouldn't trade it for anything but it isn't all rainbows and unicorns up here.

Most road enthusiasts tend to be short. I only know of a few who are significantly taller than I am.

If my height were measured the way Texas measured its roads, with the count beginning 34 inches above the top of my head, and a reference marker placed every 2 inches starting at the top of my head, and about every 30 inches two of those marker are less than 2 inches apart, the last marker, on my foot a little above the ground, would be about 118, considering that a marker placed at the starting point above my head is marked 10.
