From knives to size, it turns out my tiny salary's in direct relation to my tiny self. According to a study of nearly 7,000 men and women by the Australian National University which is in Australia.

Really?

An extra couple of inches can add nearly 820 dollars per year to one's salary, says Professor Leigh of these anti-tiny findings. "Perhaps it's because of this discrimination with shorter people getting the same treatment in the labor market (as) women and minorities have experienced in the past." The worst part is short men are way smarter than minorities and women. Combine that time 12. I don't know what I am saying.

Ann, you are super tall. If you were short, do you think you would be less successful?

Especially short and heavy?

Yeah.

Apparently.

Yeah. Good. That's a direct insult at me.

Short and heavy shabby. They are very misery-presented group.

But I think you're making too much of this, but short men also save money on things like dating.

Clearly unnecessary. Short men…but a short man also are more sucessful, because they try harder, because they are short.

Are you taking this story a little too personal?

I pitched this story. I wanted to leave the show with this story.

He was two of the sources in that story.

This story was made up by me. I wrote about it in the bathroom and then I published it on my own blog.

It's not a coincidence that the other of that story is Breg Butt-feld. Do the maths.

Yeah. Carl, will there be a day that short people can sue for discrimination?

Well, you can hope, the thing. But think about it this way, it's only 1.5%, you know, say, screw the 1.5%, take the big settlement. On the other hand, you shouldn't go fret, Greg,
I mean, with the passing of Cronkite, you have moved up the ladder as a journalist. We all think of you as a giant. You are the giant.

Thank you very much. God knows I need a ladder. A very short man. Hey, you know, Barret, I gotta move on. But I want to ask, you don't date short people, do you?

I do. I totally date short people.
Oh, you do not.

Yes, I have. I've dated a short man.

Name a short person you dated.

..... A menu, I will do it.
