I'm 6'4" so people always ask me if I played basketball too. No, I ran cross country and track thank you very much. I like to reply with, "Did you play mini golf?"
Friday OT #1 - Are Those Real?

I feel your pain. I get asked those same questions all the time. I also always get asked if my wife is tall as well. I’ve had countless times where people were standing behind me to compare themselves to me.
I hear “you’re tall”, “how tall are you”, “I wish I was that tall”, daily. Walking through airports is hilarious watching people whisper “he’s tall” to each other thinking I don’t notice. I’m 6’7” which is tall but I can’t imagine what it must be like for those taller than me.
The only time I accept people asking if I hit my head on doors is when I’m in the UK. To which my response is always “of course I do this is a country built for hobbits!!”.
When I was younger and more of a smart ass I used to respond with “ my mom said I’m normal!! Why did she lie to me!!”. The looks on some of the people’s faces was hilarious as they turned overly apologetic.
I have a friend who is 6 8 or 6 9 and about 350. I knew he got looked at when I would go to bars with him. Met him at a couple where I showed up first. Would always hear, “holy crap (different word) look at the m effer. Better not mess with him”. That would make me laugh some knowing he is far from a fighter.
I went back to work after the whole incident, and I had a buddy to whom I had to tell the story right away to see if I was weird in taking it wrong. His response was, "Yeah, that dude totally knew what he was asking. No way you're curling an 11-month-old's hair, he just wanted to comment on your rack."
Skipping to the end here...did we ever find out if they are in fact real?
I'm less concerned about the "real" thing and more concerned about the spectacular thing.
I don't think it's very easy to breastfeed if they are fake.
Thought of another one.
I tend to be more quiet and observant when out and used to have people that I hardly knew say things like 'Don't take this the wrong way, but you're quiet'.
Usually it was because I had nothing to add to conversations about Reality TV or gossip or whatever, and would it be appropriate to tell someone they're loud?

I always love the "Don't take this the wrong way, but..." or the "No offense, but..." It is just a way for somebody to try to feel better about themselves while they insulting you.
Sounds like your headed to a threesome to me.
Yeah and what's wrong with not speaking? More people should try that.
