Mine is 5 inches too. I consider myself average-shouldered - certainly not wide, but I am not a tiny person by any means.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Like, for the longest time, I thought if you were arrested for robbery, someone would give you CPR.
Heh.
When I was a kid, the warning on cigarette machines about how minors couldn't buy cigs used to confuse me. I was thinking "miner", and was wondering if, say, coal miners were a lower class of citizen and thus were prohibited from smoking....

It's snowing down here too, sarameg!
If you grab a ruler and measure your shoulder from neck-bend to end of shoulder, how long is it? Mine (right one) is 5 inches long. I suspect that's really short/narrow.
um...that was kind of hard to do and a little painful with a metal ruler. But mine is about 6.

My 4 year old is currently deeply confused about the sort of brownies who drink bowls of milk and clean the house, vs. the sort of brownies that you bake. I made brownies last night, and she was all, "That's a cake! Are the brownies inside?"
I wish we had a house-brownie, though.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I love that Buffistas will, without much encouragement, torque themselves into weird positions/measure themselves/try to cross their eyes just to check out what someone else is talking about.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, I'm willing within reason.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I got about 5.5", assuming my measurments via handwidths and sheets of paper are accurate. (NB: my paper-as-ruler trick did work to find boots that would fit around my calves.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
When I was a kid, part of our house burned down, and the fire fighters came. (Coincidentally a FF cousin was called to the fire, but that's neither here nor there.) Being completely terrible at causal logic at the time, I knew that firefighters were associated with house fires, but I couldn't figure out why, if they start the fires, they then put them out.

That which does not kill you should RUN

IIRC, that led to Rebecca Lizard kneeing herself in the face.
