Random Thoughts or Whatever

Do vulgar boatmen sing dirty ditties, sung dirt cheap?

Around early to mid Nineties a band called The Vulgar Boatmen were making -- ahem -- quite a splash -- around Chicago & environs. I met them a few times, even sold an amp (1960 Gibson Model GA-40 "Les Paul") to them. Played that Indie-sounding stuff that seemed typical of early and mid Nineties.
 
As a tall person, I've had to learn that it's rude of me to just grab things a short person is reaching for. However if I am asked, I must oblige.
This is the law of the giants
Years ago I was in Wal-Mart buying a fishing rod for one of my kids. I heard someone ask me if I could get one down from the top rack for him. I looked over my shoulder and asked which one he wanted to look at, but I did not see anyone. I figured he must have been talking to someone else until I heard him describe the one he wanted to look at. I turned all the way around scanning the aisle and didn't see him until I looked down.
He was a very small small person with a big smile on his face. A bit flustered, I handed down the pole and as he was telling me it was for his wife, she came bopping around the end of the aisle. She was also a very small person, neither of them were much over 3' tall. :)
 
One time at the airport I saw a lady coming out of the terminal with a high school kid following. It was funny because she was about 4' and her son was close to 6'.
