well alrighty then. i’ll show my age by citing the cramps’ “mad daddy” from ‘songs the lord taught us’ in the title of this post. it seems that, “Want to get rich? Get taller”:

“Tall people earn considerably more money throughout their lives than their shorter co-workers, with each inch adding about $789 a year in pay, according to a study released on Thursday.”

at this point, i guess i could show my age even more by calling forth the ghost of minor threat and humming “small man, big mouth”.

so, i guess it really does pay to be 6 foot 4, lower back problems notwithstanding.
