2. Don't forget coach-class longhaul flights. |

When I get off those things, I need a crowbar to pry my limbs straight.

3. how tall is too tall? I'm 6'6'' |
|
Every time I go to the grocery store a little old lady asks me to get something from the top shelf. I've had bad knees and every other problem that tall people are subject to.

4. Sucks for doing push-ups... |
|
...for those struggling with military fitness standards. I always just got by on the push-ups test, but being tall does help in running, I think.

10. I have multiple scar tissue from cockpit overhead. |
|
Take a look at the ceiling of a 747 sometime. All those little hard circuit breaker knobs. The ceiling is about 1" closer to the floor than the top of my head. Every once in a while I'd forget how tall I am and stand up straight. OUCH. And no hair to cushion the blow. I shoulda worn a hardhat.
