Worro, titch!

Well, there's a good news story!  At 5'6" (if I hold myself up straight) I've always wished I were taller - my wife (God bless her) always used to wear flat shoes when we went out together so as not to appear taller than me.  But now research has shown it seems that shorter men live longer than taller ones - so there's some advantage after all to being vertically challenged.
