The Tallest Person You Know

My ex was 7’ and I am 5’10", he plays basketball, and people would always ask that & then ask how tall he was. He was always so nice about it but I felt sorry for him because he told me it bothered him he was just to sweet to be nasty to anyone, we could not go out without interuption.

We went to see Duece Bigalow and I felt so bad when they had the giant girl in the movie and they yelled “keep it in the circus” I looked over at him and he looked down then after as we walked out people behind us yelled it at him!!! How lucky for them he would not hurt anyone I know I wanted to that night. Too bad he moved away to play somewhere else, he is a great guy.

My 5’2" sister was married to a guy that was 7’2".

Tallest person I ever knew was a 6’8" guy in high school. We were in the same graduating class.

How accurate is this? If it’s true for my son he’d end up being 5’4" and looking really funny next to his father (6’1") me (5’ 7") and my father (6’3".)

My good friend Joseph is 213cm metric (I think 6’9" imperial?).

He does not play basketball.

Him being very tall and skinny, and myself short and rotund, there was a point where we thought it might be good to combine genetic material in the attempt to produce something in the middle… but then we realised that I don’t want to be pregnant and it’s impossible for him, and that neither of us was in the position to raise a kid anyway.

Would be an interesting experiment.

My ex brother in law is 7’2"…He wears a hat that says
“I’m 6’14”, because he got tired of people asking “How tall ARE you?”
When he was a bouncer years ago, he had this little drunk guy stagger up to him and give him the OLD “So, how’s the weather up there?” line…so he spit on him and said “WET!!”
I am only 5’2", so when we went out on a dance floor, we got alot of looks ( I was almost eye level with his belly button)
He now weighs about 500lbs, and wears a size 22 wide shoe.
When I was married to his brother (who is 6’4"), he came over to our house and literally leaned on my fridge and told me how dusty it was…so, I threw him a sponge and said “YOU clean it, cause it doesnt bother me”
He did tend to scare alot of people. Once, when I was at work at a grocery store, I was outside helping a kid bring in grocery carts.
My brother in law came walking up with his girlfriend, and made some smartass remark to me. I just glared at him and said
“Shutup FATBOY, or I’ll go get a stepstool and kick out your kneecaps!!!”
The look on the kids face was priceless…I never told him that I knew the GIANT…He just thought I had the biggest set of balls he had ever seen, and went around telling everyone the story of how I told off this HUGE man.:smiley:

One of my best male friends from highschool was 6’5 the last I knew. I met this guy at university this year, and he’s got to be pushing 7 feet, cuz he’s absolutely huge.
