Whoa there!
I prefer to use the term "Vertically Challenged"

The most detailed pseudo-scientific marketing I have ever seen. Excess growth hormone in adults (acromegaly) does not produce increase in height. If anything, the disc spaces between vertebrae are reduced. Even if this were capable of growth hormone stimulation, the only things that would likely grow are the hands, feet and face.

As my 5' 6" father (God rest his soul) used to say, "Son, just remember; you bend over more in life than you reach up."

One of the distinct advantages about being short is that people have a tendency to underestimate you so it only takes half the effort to impress. &;-)

Technically speaking, "vertically challenged" means you have trouble standing up. Are you a drinker?

LOL.

Affects the personality too, some of the most rotten pieces of disfunctional humanity that I have met were short. It must affect the mind to wander around all day looking at other peoples belt buckles.

You just thought you were shorter. You didn't realize you were lying down at the time.

I thought this was a thread about the stock market. Imagine the guilt of all those making money by being short.

Oh well...

The stature of a man is measured by the strength of his character, not his height.
