We always want what we can't have

I often begrudge the fact that I'm muscularly built and short. Why the hell couldn't I be skinny? I could wear:
- skinny ties
- long jackets
- shark skin suits
- slim leg pants
- shirts or polos untucked

I have the sad affliction of long torso, short legs. My wife is 6', I am 5'7" and we have the same length torso (just to paint a picture).

I know what I should be wearing, but I want to wear other things goddamnit! Why oh why did my genes result in this particular combination?
