Apparently he had little recourse.

I tend to make halflings into thieves, not dwarves.

oh ... I saw "dwarf burglar" and thought someone was stealing dwarves.

There's no such thing as dwarves.

"People come to me for help with burglaries because I'm small and can get through small holes.," he said.

"But they are not taking advantage of me. I'm well-known and well-liked and no one picks on me."


Golden quote of the article.

There was a little delinquent who lived behind me (I was pretty good friends with him for a while). After being put under house arrest for some criminal activity, he took off, stealing a purse and retrofitted van from a midget who lived in an adjacent neighborhood. Funniest crime I've ever heard of being committed.

Alex: Are you keeping Anton on because he's disabled?
David: Anton's not disabled.
Alex: He's a midget, David.
David: Yeah, but you're not disabled if you're a midget are you? That's not a disability. That's just small.
Alex: Yeah, I know...
David: Ronnie Corbett doesn't get special treatment, does he?
Alex: Ronnie Corbett's five foot. Anton's three foot four.
David: So are some children. Children don't get special favours. Children aren't disabled, are they?
Alex: Children don't work in warehouses.
David: Look, whether or not Anton is indeed a midget or a dwarf -
Alex: No, he's a midget.
David: What's the difference?
Alex: Well, a dwarf is someone who has disproportionately short arms and legs.
David: Oh, I know the ones. (Does a crass impersonation of a dwarf)
Alex: It's caused by a hormone deficiency.
David: Bloody hormones.
Alex: A midget is still a dwarf, but their arms and legs are in proportion.
David: Sure.
Gareth: So, what's an elf?
David: Do you wanna answer that?
Alex: (sighs) An elf is a supernatural being. Sometimes they're invisible. They're like fairies.
David: But they don't actually exist, do they? In real life...

I'd say about 80% of office jobs are open to dwarves of all types. Way back when I worked in an office they had a graphic designer who was also a dwarf.

But that one in the article... yeah, he should start a career as mini-me to Matt Damon.

If I could harness the power of the dwarves. A tiny Army that wouldn't have to crawl under barb wire. They'd just walk. You want to go hand to hand combat with a dwarf? You're swinging the rifle butt for a normies' chest and they're bayonetting you in the crouch.

A tiny air force of planes too small to show up on radar. Can't shoot them down. They're too small and fast.

A navy of little submarines that look like big fish on the sonar screen. Wrecking havok on the maritine seas.

My dwarf army would fight and win under the battle cry of "More room for us!"

Gotta run down to Kids R Us and get some brown shirts.

Okay, your predictions on who will win.

Ditka would never play a team he coaches, let alone 11 mini versions of him.

I'm going to assume he's a shield dwarf, rather than a gold dwarf.

That way, he gets -2 to his charisma rather than -2 to his dexterity.

Constitution's not normally a good stat for a thief, though.

I always thought drwarfs would make great butlers. They're small enough to as to not be obtrusive, and wouldn't require large living spaces or large amounts of food to feed. Plus they smell better than Mexicans (although this is debatable).
