The "M" Word

I am sick of this political correct stuff complicating our lives. I saw this tiny little expedite van driver recently and I asked him if he had a hard time in this business being a midget. He stormed off and climbed his way up into his van with blocks on his pedals and drove off, but not before telling me that midget is an offensive word. I had no idea.

He was a cute little guy, he made me smile.

If it is the guy I'm thinking of, he's pretty short but I don't think he's really a midget. This guy did have some sort of extensions on his pedals though. It reminded me of when I was a little kid and I went to see the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile.... The driver was just tiny...

another amusing thing was the fact that he had a Texas plate. It sure contradicted the old saying about things being bigger in Texas.

I just need to be very careful around them now. I would not want to fight an angry little person. When they are steaming mad and stomp around with their little legs and baby arms flailing. I would just start laughing and could not defend myself.
