local midget?

[ColJack]

heh, I bet that got the attention of the mods...

anyway, to the question..

do any of you have any little people living in your area?
we've all seen plenty on TV and in films but I don't think I've ever seen a little person in real life...
are the various forms of dwarfism really that rare or do they tend to just not go out very often?

I know one. She was in my son's class at junior school and it was apparent even then that she wasn't growing in the usual way. (Her head was oversized for her body). That was nearly twelve years ago.

I saw her again about a year ago and she's not much bigger. I think she's the only dwarf in a school of about 2000 pupils.

This fella lives in the same town as me and I see him quite often. IIRC he has at least 1 child who has 'dwarfism' aswell.

I remember 'The Bounciest Weather on Cable' , on the fledgling cable channel Bravo about 15 years ago. It consisted of a dwarf on a trampoline reading the weather. The previous program was always 'Tiffanys Big City Tips', a brunette who took her clothes off (waist up) whilst reading the business news, until nekkid.

There's a dwarf next door to us but we don't see much of him, well the garden fence is 3 foot tall.

Isn't the World's most useful woman a dwarf?

3 foot tall, no teeth and a flat head to rest your beer on?

When I was 10-12 years old we had a neighbour, a young fully grown woman, perhaps about 2' tall. She was one of the nicest persons I have ever met and when she died at around 20 years of age, literally hundreds turned up at the cemetry. She was buried in a tiny white coffin and I still remember the tears of the mourners.

The title of the video could have put an entirely different slant to the thread...........
