Sometimes leaving a memorable impression is as simple as carrying around a pack of clever business cards. In this case, someone who is taller than average can point out all of the cliche and canned observations of newly introduced individuals before they get to the punch lines themselves. It starts by stating the obvious, 'Yes, I am tall,' and proceeds to say, 'No, I don't play basketball' and 'The weather up here is nice.'

Although not everyone can use such specifically clever business cards, they can easily be tweaked to reflect the specific nuances of one's own physical makeup. Tall or short, young or old, there are many ways to spin it. Of course, some sort of awareness should be applied so that offense cannot be taken for those on the receiving end.
