A shortrebellion on hand
Beware.
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.
Of course, short people
have no desire to cause
anyone undue stress. We
realize the tall ones are Peo-
ple too. And, whenever possi-
ble, allowances will be made
for them.

a reasonable level.
Doorways and ceilings will
be lowered, similar to the
style of early English ar-
chitecture. This measure will
save precious heating fuel by
cutting down on the space
that we've been heating up
there for so long.
Johns will be placed at a
comfortable seating position.
In public washrooms, mir-
rors will be placed on the wall
to allow people under 5' to see
their whole head not just the
wisp of hair that's standing
straight up on top of their
head.
In homes, kitchen counters
and shelves will stand at
suitable working level. Sofas
and chairs will be restricted
to a height and design that
allows shorter people to sit
comfortable without their feet
dangling in midair. In newer
houses, windows will be
lowered.
Light switches and ther-
mostats will keep the shorter
occupant in mind.
In cars, brake and ac-
celerator pedals will be easi-
ly accessible, and the car seat
will move forward more easi-
ly than backward.
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.
They will be requested not to
wear hats or high heels.

at two different heights will
be hung in public washrooms.
Clothes will be made in a
variety of lengths.
Decision-making boards
and councils will be compris-
ed of equal numbers of short
and tall members.
Questions, such as "How's
the weather up there?" will
be considered to be extreme-
ly poor taste.
After years of stretching,
we short people of the world
have decided it's time the rest
of you started bending.
Some of you may think this
is a joke. In that case, the ele-
ment of surprise will be in our
favour. We hope the takeover
will be painless, but we'll hit
below the belt if we have to.
Short people unite! Sing out
our battle cry: "Power to the
petit!"
