Silver Lining

[Stick]

Cane? Well I?m 5?5? and as a result I have learned to ?speak softly? most of my life around normal sized people. Today I need a cane to get around and I get to carry a ?big stick? in order to do it. ?Go ahead, make my day.? Also, I can reach higher than most of you tall folks can, point to things more accurately, and reach things that are far out of the range of a short person, even most tall people. Here I thought that, since I?m short, I was the first person to smell you normal sized peoples fart first. Today I get to use my stick against where that fart came from. That stick does have its silver lining doesn?t it?
?Extreme anxiety reaction?? Well after 31 years of working for the man, the VA told me to get out of there before I hurt somebody. I had a crew working for me for the last 22 of those years but, at times, I was a real prick to my men. It was my way or the highway so to speak. Also cost me two marriages to my wife but we?re back together because she understood where I had been. Only that woman knew that I was going to break a few holes in the walls, I?m really good at repairing wallboard. Today I have all of my kids back and 11 grandchildren to boot. It don?t get no better than that.
P.T.S.D., Unemployable? I recognize that there is no way that I can ever again work for anybody but I can work with my wife. The sign on our store says ?Gifts ? Dolls.? That sign cost us over $3 grand and it?s Christmas. Guess what that sign brings into the store? It brings in little ones along with their moms and dads. God I love those kids. The littler, the better. Their smiles and laughs make my day. We have a helium tank at the store and I get to give the little ones a balloon just for visiting us. Naa! I can?t work for the man, any man, but bring a kid around me and I?ll be at their service. Does anyone out there know where he or she can find more silver than that?

You've gone "Golden" and you've found out the true meaning of life - its' the kids and their welfare and their happiness is what makes your day so much brighter.

Have a good holiday.

One thing I learnt about short people in Oz. They tan quicker than the rest of us and they get tanked quicker too.

Drywall & reeb - you guys gotta be tall right
