At 6’3 I’m a pretty tall guy. There are a lot of benefits to being tall. Playing basketball is a lot easier, I can reach pretty much anything and… well I guess that is pretty much it.
While there are a lot of good things about being tall, there are a few downsides. Being tall, you quickly learn that every shower head is mounted about six feet up the wall (or less) meaning you have to learn some gymnastic moves to wash your hair. Car and plane seats always seem to be made a little too small, we can get pretty clumsy during the Jr. High and High School years and, despite what you may have heard, the weather isn’t any different up here
In reality I am glad that I’m tall. All of the downsides really aren’t that bad. The biggest downside really is that you’re more likely to hit your head on things.

I say all of that for really no reason at all. I just wanted an excuse to use the following picture.
