. . . another short was found. When asked what for, came this reply: "You were docked for the time You were up in the sky." So drill ye tarriers, drill.

Short people got
No reason to live
Don't want no short people 'round me.
(Randy Newman)
With his tail cut short and his ears cut long
Oh where, oh where can he be
"Oh where, oh where, has my little dog gone"
In short, there's simply not
A more congenial spot
For happy ever aftering
Than here in Camelot!
from the musical
who wears short shorts?
we wear short shorts!
from a Nair commercial on TV years ago
Find a gentleman who is shy or bold
or short, or tall
or young, or old
as long as the guy's
a millionaire...
---Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell, "Two Little Girls from Little Rock"
(Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)
