Not strictly magic I know, but I come across this line alot, at work and social life:
I'm 6'7" - and I get asked/told:
"whats the weather like up there?" or
"i bet you were born in a grow bag" or
"your tall........."

now usually I just smile nicely and reply with an equally amusing line.

So, does anyone have any nice lines to return.

Many thanks

Chicks like tall....I'm tall but not as tall as you and with the grace of your magic ability, the 2 go hand in hand....no sleights there.

I always like the lines,...

"Wow I can see your house from here and someones stealin' your entertainment system."

"Yes I am quite tall, as a matter of fact I'm banned from Japan. Last time I went all I ever saw was people running and screamming "GODZILLA!"

"Actually I'm a midget on stilts...haha fooled you"

"I do Gutters."

"You see my mother was a Giraffe,...by the looks of it, was your parents monkeys?"

"I'm closer to Heaven than you"

"Yes I am tall and I have some wicked gas, just warning all you short people."

"Fe Fi Fo Fum!"

"Wow these platform shoes really work!"

"Actually there's 3 of us in here all stacked up nicely...can you tell?"


I hope some of these help you 'Lerch' (jk)

Best to you
Sonny

I'm a tad tall. When asked just how tall I am I say

"6'3" and a half. I'll be 6'4" in (roughly six months from now) December. Depending on the when asked. Sometimes the response is July. Which ever is funnier.

Well, I suppose it depends on where you are and what is going on. I am tall and was dating a very tall girl in High School. We passed by a booth in a local eatery one night and this "clown" was sitting there drinking a coke and looked up at her and asked "hows the weather up there?" She calmly picked up his coke glass poured its contents over his head and said "It's raining up here, how's the weather down there?"
"Now here's the man with the 25 cent hands, that two bit magician..."

Great lines from, Sonny. When entertaining children, quite often they'll ask me if I'm on stilts I either reply "Yes, adjustable ones" and make winding motions while going up and down on my toes or say "Yes, big, pink hairy ones" and show my leg.

Other tall lines:
"I'm not tall, I'm just breaking these legs in for a giraffe"
"Randy Newman loves me"
"I have to be with my head this far from the ground"
"I've also got vertigo, bummer, huh"
"Well, you know what they say about tall people?..............They have long trousers" (I know it's a rip off of the big feet line)
"I'm tall? And there was me thinking I was near-sighted"
"I went to a plastic sureon and asked if he could make me look a little shorter he said 'sure' and took three steps backwards"

I always say, "If you think I'm tall here, I"m HUGE in Japan" and give a wink.

I'm 6'4".
To "you're tall" from kids I reply "that's because my feet are so far away from my head."
They're just pointing out the obvious and so am I.
I like Will's line for adults though!

I once heard a tall guy exclaim "My daddy used to put manure in my shoes when I was growing up".

Sonny, your jokes were priceless! I'll have to pass them along to my brother in law who stands at 6'6. (My sister is 5'1).
