.btw, you forgot to give your weight...in "stones", of course!) 
Well Dwight, I grew up with my parent's friends always asking "how tall are you?" Being a normal jr high smarta$$ kid, I figured out my height in cubits and answered same. It always struck me odd that asking how much someone weighs is considered socially out of bounds, but height is open season. Much of life has never made much sense to me, but it does have it's moments of humour.
BTW: since the so-called highway mishap 4 years ago, I did gain about 1.5 stone. But since getting a total hip replacement over the 4th of July and a few more months of rehabilitation, I'm hoping to return to fighting shape. Which reminds me, I need to ask the orthopaedic surgeon next week if the aftermarket titanium bits she installed weigh less than garden variety human bone removed
