Size can sometimes be problematric in Texas,

Una volta, with apologies to the shade of Jonathan Swift,  there was a
Braniff flight from Dallas to Chicago.  Arriving at the gate, it began
disgorging passengers, some of whom, who were no more than 7 inches,
17.78 cm, high, had great difficulty negotiating the steps of the
ramp.

Asked about them, the Braniff attendant explained that they were
common on flights from Dallas and Houston: They were Texans with all
the BS squeezed out.

On that note this thread may have exhausted itself.
