Height... It all matters

When in Germany, as a part of Friday evening recreation, I used to go to wine market with my German girlfriends. I must say German girls are really really tall, I guess average height of a woman there should be around 6 feet. Mind you average height of Indian men is not even that close :). Well, My first visit to the wine market is worth a tale.

On particular evening, my friend and I reached the wine market after a hard day at work. The wine market was not that big, not crowded, it was put up on park kind of place, lots of stalls sold homemade food. This was during my early days and I had not idea about German food or drinks. My friend suggested me to try something German which I gladly accepted. I helped myself with mushroom gravy kind of dish and my friend had bread and cheese. We stood there in the market for about an hour talking and eating. We didn't even realize during this period the crowd in the market started growing. It was a small place and there were too many people. My friend suddenly realized that she had plans to meet her husband at that place but she was not sure where he was. We had to move through the crowd slowly to a less crowded area. We started to panic as it was too difficult to even move.

My Friend (Panicking): Can you see my husband somewhere? I am worried.

I am a 5 footer and I was completely engulfed by 6 footers. People were standing around me like walls. I could barely breath or see anyone's face.
Me (With a funny tone): Can please tell me where you are standing. If I can spot you then its just a piece of cake for me to spot your husband.

My Friend: I am just behind you.

We had a hearty laugh and proceeded through the crowd.
See people say height does not matter. Well, it does in some countries!
