Tall Guy Hands Pre-Printed FAQ Card When Asked His Height
Text content
YES I AM TALL. I AM 6'10". (No I'm not kidding. Yes, that is tall.) NO, I DO NOT PLAY BASKETBALL. I PLAY VOLLEYBALL. YES, SEEING THE TOPS OF EVERYONES HEAD IS WEIRD. YES, THE WEATHER IS NICE UP HERE. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT CONVERSATION.
Overview
The meme is made up of a top text caption and a real photograph. The top text reads "i asked this guy 'How tall are you?' and he handed me this". In the background of the photo, a very tall man wearing sunglasses and a Philadelphia Eagles football t-shirt stands in an indoor wood-paneled public space, facing the camera with a neutral, amused expression. In the foreground, a hand holds a pre-printed card that lists answers to common repetitive questions tall people receive: it confirms the man is 6'10" tall, notes he is not lying about his height, states he does not play basketball (he plays volleyball instead), jokes that seeing the tops of strangers' heads is weird, that the weather 'up high' is nice, and sarcastically concludes the interaction. The humor comes from the relatable frustration of people with unusual physical traits who are tired of answering the same intrusive generic questions from strangers repeatedly, to the point of making pre-written response cards.
