There was a time when I believed that I was the tallest short man, that no man in the less-than category could claim his stature higher than I... My glorious pride faded as I was measured against a fellow shorty, one Daniel Jacques. Dan, a Portigee of noble descent, clearly a less-than fellow as I, towered nearly an eighth over my tallitude leaving my claim un...er...claimable. Now I'm just short.
