5' 8" is not a midget. But even if it is, I'm taller than 5'8".

Did you not know that the average American male is approx. 5' 9"? So in other words, I'm approximately at the 50th percentile, maybe a few points down. Which puts me in normal range.

However, there is a further statistical fact which requires further illumination. Height has increased greatly in the last hundred years, and since it is obvious to us that there are many millions of elders with us who are well into old age, it's entirely probable that 5' 9" is more markedly below average than what was stated earlier.
