Everyone should also be required to stilt up to over 6' tall 
for at least a full work day, to better appreciate swag lamps, 
ceiling fan light fixtures, chest level shower heads, and 
things stored at the back of low shelves in refrigerators.

Interestingly, I've reached stuff on high shelves in stores 
for scores of people, but I don't recall a five footer 
offering to slide that box of whatever onto that shelf way 
down there under the shopping cart for me.

Fortunately, we adapt. <G>
