We all have our weights and measures. I mentioned this before, but, I’m still upset that I only grew to be 5ft 8in. although I’m built strong and pretty stocky. For many years I had fooled myself that I was 5ft10. I lied for years, on insurance forms. I believed it too. Then one day a little high school girl working as a Nurses Aide, put me on that old fashioned metal scale at a Kasier Hospital. She loudly announced “Okay, we have your full height at five feet and almost eight inches.Thanks!” WTF!!!???

To some guys who are not that tall to begin with, an inch or two matters a great deal.
I was quietly in SHOCK and had to stop myself from asking for a re-do. I re-measured it myself went she left the room. I got 5ft 7.and three quarters. Damn! I stopped right there. Didnt want to know any more.
