The Commute.

I was sitting and reading on the subway today. A guy got on the train and stood next to me. I didn't bother looking up at him, but then I noticed that his legs seemed kind of long. He was an older guy, very preppy, not my type. But I kept wondering if he was tall, or if it was my skewed perspective.

Then I figured out how to figure it out. I thought of myself on my knees in front of him. Where would my head be relative to his crotch? My head would be lower than usual. He was tall.

I impressed myself with my scientific assessment of the situation. I should have been wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard.
