Did I ever tell you stories of when I was doing sports reporting for the Sydney Olympics and Paralympics? I went to interview the men's wheelchair basketball team, and put up good-naturedly with the jokes that I was the same height standing up as they were in their chairs. Then Troy Sachs stood up (he has one leg), to his full six and a half foot glory. I told him that since he was out of my field of vision, I could safely ignore him.
(To be fair to TS, he was really lovely, and an amazing sportsman.)
