Who can join the tall people's liberation front?

In order to be taken seriously as a lobby group, sadly some height restrictions must apply for potential TPLF members. While this may seem elitist, the reality is we are better than you - because we're taller.
Therefore, it is with due solemnity that I hereby decree the cut-off points for TPLF members:

For Men - 193cm or 6'4"

and in the interests of greater harmony between tall men and women, and because the tall male founders of the TPLF want someone to dance with:

For Women - 175cm or 5'9"

Yours sincerely,

Jona Turle esq.

Tall People's Liberation Front Charter

1. Thou shall be tall without artificial help - ie silicon implants are not accepted - see Ash's post
2. Thou shall not play basketball
3. Thou shall not strut around in German looking attire (ie collared shirts tucked into neat pants).
4. Thou shall not participate in dubious religions (ie all).
5. Thou shall participate in the global fight for basic human rights:
- Doorways of reasonable height.
- Enough leg and head room on public transport, in cars and aeroplanes and the like.
- Bench tops should not make you bend over, because bending over is not advisable.
- Clothes should be made available in reasonably large sizes for reasonable prices (and not just be crappy smart casual designs for stupid money - ie Kingsize Menswear in Australia).

- more to follow

Sincerely,

Jona Turle esq.
