Imagine being a village strongman. Sounds awesome and annoying at the same time.
As a tall person, I kind of understand the experience. Whenever I put my mighty powers of slightly longer torso to the benefit of others, I like to make sure to announce to those who have benefitted that I am a "Friend to the littles".
'Hey Strongman, a banyan tree fell on my grandma again. Haha. If you don't mind'
'It's ok. Hrrrrrhhhhhh'
I do it already for fun and sport. Do I get pay and/or elevated status?
People will totally be grateful to you! It’s like being a firefighter light: you get to help people, it’s impressive, and it’s kind of a hassle a lot of the time. I was going to say it’s a lot safer, but given the picture, I don’t know if that’s a given
I will pick up everything.
I'm the only man in my family under the age of 60. It's my job to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
