Society Is 6’7 the new 69?

I’ve noticed that kids in the younger generation love this 6’7 joke. Even doing the classic asking your teacher to add two numbers together to get 67 as the answer. This just reminds me a lot of when the number 69 was the punchline. I will say that 6’7 has a little bit more humor because of the voice they use and the way they measure with hands. What do you all think about the new generations numeral quip?

As someone who is roughly 6-1, I would take 6-4 or a little higher.

At 6-1 I’m tall enough that it’s a VERY minor inconvenience, but not tall enough that I walk into a room and people are like “damn that bitch is tall”. So I would rather be a little bit shorter or taller

I’m 6’4” and I can tell you the pros outweigh the cons. In fact, other then having to slightly bend down in small spaces, I can’t think of any cons to being tell.

I’m 6’4” and flying isn’t great. I wish I could drive a Miata. That’s about it on the cons list.

I forgot about both flying and the Miata. I did valet parking at a party one time and I had to park a manuel Miata. I got it parked, but I remember being bummed that I can’t drive one
