The National Office For Statistics has expended a great deal of money on researching the well-being of dwarves. They found that only one dwarf in seven was happy !

Is this a joke on the Seven Dwarves or is this a legit study of "Little People"?

One in seven is Dopey too. :p

ha ha, and one in seven is grumpy ! he he he:yh_tong2

Is there a link to the study? Otherwise I'm going with one in seven being plagued with sneezing too. :wah:

You're both heinous offenders against good taste, how on earth is ForumGarden ever going to attract Bashful posters if you carry on like this?

Report to Personnel during your lunch break.

I'll pass on coming back to work. There's a one in seven chance I'm feeling sleepy.

Typical. Hrruumph.

Has the Elf Service and The Gnome Office been notified about this?

If your talking about dwarves you have to include Gimli son of Gloin and Drizzt Do'Urden's friend Bruenor Battlehammer, and the tons of other Dwarven heros of The LODR and Forgotten Realms series, Oh and speaking of Elves you have include Drizzt, Legolas, and Elrond. Some would include Spock, but he is a Vulcan not an elf of course only a few realize the real difference.

To consider the well-being of such height-challenged folk, I think 6 out of 7 should be sent to the Doc. :sneaky:

Personally, I think they're all pretending to be sick. I'll bet they're stories are not snow-white.

Seriously I agree, but I am not sure this post is serious about the problems people like me who are short not necisarily considered to be suffering from dwarfism but just short face. Heightism is already a startred post hear on FG that I already seen also gets jokingly passed off as a legitimate problem. I am not sure if anyone else hear knows or cares but hear are a few links

I tried telling them, CJ, I told them to stop but they never listen. It's a disgrace.

No prob, Like you said they never stop so us who are vertically challanged have come to find it a norm for someone to "pick on the little guy", bash on them for "coming up short" or "Failing to reach" their goals, I am afraid we will "Never live up to" the norm that has come to be the Ideal today.

I'm very sorry, CJ, but the whole idea of this particular thread was to be amusing concerning the seven dwarves' names !

In fact the OP was a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves' joke ! I was a bit surprised that there was such a response from people who moved along with the initial joke.

There was absolutely no intention of any offence intended to people who are short in stature, and I, as the author of the OP, wish to apologise for any unintentional offence which may have been taken from the content of the OP and any subsequent posts.

I also thank you for providing those very informative links.

It may interest you to know that, as a child at school, as I had freckles, wore glasses and had long black hair done up in plaits. If I wasn't teased and picked on for having freckles (and called names). I was sneered at for wearing glasses (and called names), or I had my plaits constantly tugged and was called names - all this was mostly by boys, but some spiteful girls indulged as well. I used to manage by laughing with them, which spoiled their fun as their intention was only to get 'a rise' out of me !

Unfortunately, the human being, particularly children, can be very cruel and will pick up on anything which is not quite normal, or out of the ordinary. How to put a stop to this is an ongoing problem.

By the way, my mum always told me that 'good things are wrapped in small parcels' :-6

Yeah but come christmas time, or during a bithday you always want to open the big present.

But under the wrapping, it isn't always good quality stuff is it? Neither is it the most valuable. :yh_wink

Nah. Little kids want big presents, but they usually turn out to be plastic toys, like Tonka trucks.

Grown ups prefer small, beautifully-wrapped packages that contain small and well-thought-out gifts...

(such as diamond rings, diamond tennis bracelets, diamond earrings or anything of a similar nature) :sneaky::D:-4

Yeah true the one thing that has been proven to decrease the heightism(for males) Weight(for females) in other people especially is how easily a short male/ overweight female can obtain things like diamond rings, and things of similar nature.

Not quite sure what you're saying here. Can you explain?

sorry I needed to edit it to remove the word especially.

but the jist of it is that short men/ overweight women with lots of money suddenly dont seem so short/overweight anymore.
