He’ll stand on a cylinder, not a box. Either that or he’ll be wearing high heels.

What will he stand on?

In the 1970s when Dick Cavet was a big star on TV he said two teenage girls recognized him and one said to him:

"On TV there's nothing to compare you to but seeing you in person I can see now you really are short!"

Cavet: "I always appear much taller when I'm standing on my wallet."
