Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Round here
Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It’s a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
Don’t want no short people
‘Round here

And the stupid. A business should not be able to discriminate against the stupid when it comes to hiring. What about the nervous? People who shake might want to be diamond cutters too.

Well, Ellen Frankel had better not move to Washington state or other places that would require she sit in a child booster seat while in a car!
I wonder if this new law will force amusement parks from requiring height minimums on certain rides.

Shouldn't "short" be vertically challenged?
Shouldn't "fat" be voluminously gifted?
Not a very PC title for an asinine PC article.

Some even patted her on the head. I think she already qualifies for benefits under the "humour impaired" provisoes of the law.
To: HEY4QDEMS
Do you have to be short AND fat
or just short
OR
FAT?
