196. In Praise of Small Men with Big Feet

For a small man with big feet, big ears, a big nose, crooked teeth, anti-social habits and no respect for author­ity, being over 60 is not such a bad age in my expe­ri­ence, espe­cially if you can still do a few push-ups. The com­pe­ti­tion has long since grown beer bel­lies, devel­oped bad breath and lost their crown­ing glory. When you are 20 as a small man with big feet da da, all the beau­ti­ful peo­ple con­sider that you have no right to exist, so you have to waste time kick­ing them in the ankles.
