You're a giant of industry!  Congratulations, you get your own office!

If you work on your weak points, brush up on your grooming and develop a more responsible attitude, you can conquer the world, Napoleon!


3 feet – 4 1/2 feet:

Put a spring into your step, and bathe more often.  You suffer from a poor self-image.  Do your best to stay positive.  There's a reason why dwarfs sing when they work.  Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work you go!


1 1/2 feet – 3 feet:

Don't despair, my stinking, lazy friend.  Even if you're of a lesser stature than most dogs, there's still hope.  Most obedience schools have "special needs" programs.


0 feet – 1 1/2 feet:  

You have been cursed to crawl on your belly through the mud and sewage of life.  Vermin spits on you, and for good reason.  Abandon all hope, ye of the low, thick brow.  Did you really think you could get anything out of this here hifalutin lit'rature?  Grunt once for yes, twice for no.
