If I didnt know any better I'd say the short guy was desperately trying to compensate for something.

(26,333 posts)All of the years I spend at a weekly anti war protest, I carried a stack of enlistment forms and offered them to anyone who harassed us. Never got a single taker, but got a whole BUNCH of lame excuses as to why they wouldn't/couldn't enlist.
