Joel Garner*, Cricket legendary fast bowler from West Indies, is 6 feet 8 inches tall. In his playing years, his height was a big attraction.
Once at a dinner in Australia, he was approached by two ladies, who asked, “You are so tall, with long arms and limbs. We are dying to know whether everything else is in proportion to your height.”
Sportingly, Garner replied, “Ladies, if I were built in proportion, I would be 9 feet tall.”
