A rebellion is at hand. Peo- ple over 5'2" beware. One day short people shall rule the world. You may not have noticed the movement, because our leaders have been keeping a low profill. But, change is in- evitable. Pay telephones will be lowered along with depart- ment and grocery store shelves and bank wickets. Take note. Some telephones are already lower, and that's only the beginning. Doorknobs will be placed at • In a crowd, the tall ones will be expected to make their way to the back. If this is im- possible, they must at least keep their arms straight at their sides — no elbow ben- ding allowed. Jokes about short people will be punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.

Outside, flags will fly on poles 6' high, and signs will come down to eye level. Tall people will be banned to the back of the theatre.
