That’s the stuff of which limericks are made, George.
He stood in a Trefclan tartan kilt
Totem pole tall on pole vaulting stilts
Tall towers will lean
Lighthouses turn green
And windmills shall fall short in a tilt.
Or platform shoes. But stilts are much taller. Same with a soap box. I guess stilts win out. Except for one thing, of course. Pride and/or satisfaction and/or fulfillment can make a man stand tall, and that’s a hundred million times taller than mere old stilts! :)
Lest we forget the man who feels pride and fulfillment while standing on stilts. Truly. he is the tallest man of all. Thanks, S, and I apologize for the lateness of my reply

Buford Pusser didn’t need stilts. He was known for walking tall without them.
