wrong
I have been every height from short, through medium until I reached the height I am now, and can categorically state that this height is better than all the others.

I discovered recently
that I have a 44" chest. Means little in practice as I still don't look all that wide and it's probably mostly moob even if I did, but it sounds a damn sight more impressive than 38.

Edit: This sounds like self-indulgence upon second read-through. I was supposed to be backing up the taller is better thing.

Around under the armpits
I'd be the size of the average MPV if it was across.

mine was 44"
but is now something like 41 or 42. Inconvenient as it means none of my old suits and jackets fit me.

Agreed.
Short people can't do smug and get away with it. If Stephen fry was 5'1" he would be punched in the face a lot. being a tallish chap, he gets away with it. Quite rightly so.

He's about six foot 4 isn't he?

and a bit I believe.
But he does slouch sometimes.

He's been punched in the face at least once
quite possibly for excessive smugness.

He's not infallible.
A small person probably used a chair to stand on.
