The Tall Street Journal

I have always wondered what an adequate response is to the constant "Wow your tall!" remarks. In high school my friends told me I should be like the old guys from the "Bartyles and James" commercials and just say "Thank you for your support." Now a days when people say that I just say "Thank you." For some reason most people find this hilarious...no idea why but I stopped trying to understand the little people many years ago.

I am sure we all have our favorite or least favorite things people say to them, but I had to put one of my pet peeves out there for us to discuss. Why do people think I am interested in how tall their brother, uncle, son, nephew, neighbor...etc is? I also don't understand why someone would actually try to start a conversation with this statement! I am always polite and say "Wow ok." :-)

What are some of your guys favorite come backs to these questions? Thanks and I hope evryone is having a great day :-)

Ha ha ha. I never thought about how ridiculous it is for people to tell me how tall their family/friends are. Guess you here something so much and it just becomes common place in your head.

Heres another thread on the stupid tall comments for everyone's enjoyment

And finally here is another one with a whole host of tall nicknames
