Blimey, I've just had a flashback to wearing 4 inch platform boots when I was 18.
I'm 6' 1" so they made me effectively 6' 5"! When upstairs on buses I didn't just bang my head when wearing them - I used to bang the back of my neck!
I'm 6ft3 and eat like a horse.
What sort of reaction do you get from the other people in the restaurent?

I staggered for buses, and on several occasions tripped over kerbs and face-planted!Did you ever run for a bus.
What was I thinking? (Probably the same thing that made me think that wearing obscenely tight pink satin loon pants with a multi-coloured button fly was A Good Idea!

They are at it again ... £40,000 to come up with the phrase 'Pretty Gritty' to describe Calderdale - LINK!How about the University of Bradford paying consultants £20,000 to come up with a new name for the institution created by merging Bradford College and the University? For their £20k, they came up with:
I'd have only charged £10k for that!

Approaching perfection from a distance.
Just don't get wearing any platforms...
True story.
A policeman come to our school to give us 15 year olds a talk on the Police Force as a career choice. In those days you had to be 5" 9' minimum to apply.
End of talk. Any questions?
One fella from 5c who was a little intellectually challenged asked:
" If I'm 5"5' and I wear 4 inch platforms, would that be alright? "
Poor lad could't understand why we were laughing.
new research shows tall people who cycle are more likely to die than shorter people . research shows these people are not getting enough oxygen in their lungs , also short people are going to die early because of the pollution they breath in . now people at 5.8ft are the perfect height to have the longest life because they are not to tall and not to short they are just perfect in every way
