Shorty

"Hey, I am talking to you."

"Where are you? There is no one here."

"Look down you oxygen-deprived oaf, Not all of us live up there with our heads in outer space."

"Oh, there you are, wow you are really small..."

"Right, now you have gotten beyond the bleeding obvious can we talk?"

"What do people so small talk about? Do my socks smell down there? Are you worried about the big people stepping on you or something?

"No, actually I was just wanting to ask if you could reach the biscuits on the top shelf for me."

"The Shortbread or the Kit Kats."

"Kit Kats will be fine. There aren't any Shortbreads up there are there?"

"No, it was too good a pun to resist."

"Right, well I am on a pretty short fuse and only have a small amount of time so pass the Kit Kats, please."

"Hah, see what you did there, cool, here you go... So where's Snow White?"

"What, oh I see seven dwarfs and all that..."

"Sorry, I think I am done now though, my jokes about short people are in short supply."

"Mate when the angel of death comes to this place with his great sword and commands the people to bow to God, it will be the tall and the proud whose heads will be lopped off, and only those bowed in prayer or as short as I am will be spared."

"An angel of death in a supermarket. That is not funny."

"Exactly. Keep your head down lofty."
