Comment from Ricky1024
This was a short message.
Based on height.
Well written.
...
I'm watching the original Sylvester Stallone Rocky movie.
And, he's in an ice skating rink on his first date with Adrian.
He spoke of his fighting career.
And, then he told her that he fights with his left.
So, he's a Southpaw.
And, then he described how the word came about.
As he said there was a fighter.
(Left handed)
And, he thinks he's from Philadelphia.
And, when he would stand.
Yes, he would hold his arm out to the South.
(which was New Jersey)
And, hence he was called
"A South Paw"

Comment from Heather Knight
I love your story and the the ending is perfect. Writing this very short stories is more difficult than some people think.The title is also very good.
I'm probably being thick, but what does the server exactly mean when he says 'the one you think'
Thanks so much for sharing.

Because of his height, basketball. Appreciate the review.

Thanks for explaining. It seems so obvious now!
Have a nice day.
Comment from Wendy G
Assumptions both ways - people are always ready to judge others' interests and abilities based on looks. I was a bit surprised that the young man would address an elderly man as Shorty - seemed a bit disrespectful to me. (Maybe it's a cultural thing, or maybe I'm getting old!) I'll check out the club.

Comment from Ric Myworld
We can often figure out what someone does just by lookin at their size and physique. Of course, be care, because in many cases, we are wrong as much as we are right. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I remember only last week, my five year old grandson saw a very tall man on TV, and immediately, (despite the fact there was no indication of what interests or occupation the man engaged) my grandson said he was a basketballer, heh heh, beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy

I had fun reading this flash fiction. People do tend to make assumptions based on peoples' height. LOL I am interested in the Tips 'R Us writing club. I have never joined a club. How do they work???

This is a great commentary on how we often assume things about people because of their appearance. You got the comeback by the server just perfect! Thanks for the chuckle.

You're welcome, Brett. I will check that out when my life gets a little slower again, like September maybe. lol I can't even keep up with reviewing and writing at the moment.
Comment from Fleedleflump
This was a fun piece about stereotypes and assumptions that also tells us something about politeness in society and how we deal with others. When you used the description 'big-handed' I got an almost cartoon image of a server ferrying out pizzas using his giant hands as platters, so I guess I'm guilty too :-)
