So a cpl Polish engineers were having difficulty measuring the height
of a telephone pole, one holding the pole steady at teh bottom while
the other tried to climb up with measuring tape. The American
engineers walking by suggested they lay the pole on the ground and
measure it then. "Stupid Americans," siad one of the Polish
eng, "we're trying to measure how TALL it is, not how LONG it is."

I was reminded of this joke when I was left a phone message that my
height was a discussion topic at Bear Crk pickup Sat. I know, I know,
how I play seems different than my physical appearance. So while you
see me actually as 5'9" (5'10" on a very good day), I play like someone
that's 5'3" with awesome hops. It's the tiger shorts - fools everyone.
