Proof That Short Men Are Insecure

short-men.jpgASKS the Mail: “Is this the PROOF that short men feel insecure?”

The Mail says scientists “may finally have proof for the ‘short man syndrome’ – the phenomenon where tiny men overcompensate for their lack of height through acts of aggression.”

Examples given are Napoleon Bonaparte, Benito Mussolini, Ant ‘n’ Dec (Mail), Dudley Moore (Mirror, Telegraph) and Prince (Metro – Prince is well-known for being short”).

A new scientific study at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands “has shown that shorter men are more likely to be jealous husbands and boyfriends than their taller counterparts”.

We will not go into the brainiac details, other than to say the research involved the Eindhoven Pistons basketball team eyeing up (module 1), chatting up (module 2) and shagging (module 3) the wives and significant others of short men.

The experiment is then repeated with the basketball players wearing shoes on their knees…
