Short people (I'm 6'6" so most people qualify as short in my book ;^) like
to ask me (usually in elevators), "How tall are you?" or "Do you play
basketball?"

The first 14,687 times I said nothing except, "6'6", no".

Then I started getting annoyed and switched my reply to, "6'6", how short
are you?" and "No, are you a jockey?"

Me, I'm vaginally challenged. Of course saying so merely demonstrates
that I'm PC-challenged, but proud of it.

Nope, that's "Horizontally Gifted". "Horizontally challenged" are those
with anorexia nervosa.

Just out of morbid curiosity, has anyone got the lyrics to "SHORT PEOPLE?"

I would love a copy.

Thanks,
Nomad
Cover me! I'm going to insult hundreds of people!

Cover me! I'm going to get flamed because people will think that I don't
know that there are more than "hundreds of" short people in the world! Lighten

No, no, NO! It's "gravitationally challenged"! (Someone probably already
pointed this out, but my newsreader won't let me back up or move forward,
so I'm just posting this anyway--we'll see how many already mentioned it).

Sorry, but that is the PC phrase for "dead"...

"Fat" would be "Caloricaly enhanced".
