Isn't that the truth, lol.

It reminds me of a buddy I had who I used to hang out with a lot in the early 90s. I'm 5'8" but he was 6'7". When I was in a bar with him, it felt very different from when I was alone or with a normal-sized friend. And on more than one occasion, I noticed being treated differently too. I can just imagine how it would have felt if my buddy was omnipotent too!
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
