Short men...


Ah. Season 1 Episode 2.

JB: Oh and I can't stand the wailing of women

Slap

TL: One word and I'll hit you again.
JB: I'm telling mother!

Slap

TL: Go. Tell her. But first you will get to Lord and Lady Stark and you will fall on your knees in front of them and tell them how very sorry you are. That you are at their service and that all your prayers are with them. Do you understand?
JB: You can't...

Slap

TL: Do you understand?

SC: The Prince will remember that, little Lord.

I've know a few men like that. Both really needed shorter women to feel more secure.

Yet many of the worlds conquerors were short people. Napoleon, US Grant, Eisenhower, Truman, Stalin, Zachary Taylor. Hitler was short, too, and decorated for valor in World War I.

One of the men I was referring to thinks of himself as a conqueror as well. His billionaire status still can't make up for his gigantic Napoleon complex.

Yet Napoleon was extraordinary. Crushed the French Terror by himself. Faced a squadron of Cossack cavalry by his lonesome.
 
I cried when he died.

He used to train at a gym in my old neighborhood. Him and The Undertaker I've seen at the grocery store.

But he was not short by the standards of his time. 5-8 I believe. Which is just on the edge of being short today. His personal guard simply had to be over 6ft. and that created the perception. A good example of perception becoming reality...

A shame he had to face his Waterloo at...well... Waterloo, actually.

In Cavalry Boots he'd be 5'10" tall for the win.

Think we're getting confused with Nelson here. Now he was a PROPER short arse at barely 5ft..
