Maybe you heard about this bizarre story: two dolphins at a theme park in China were choking on some plastic, and vets at the aquarium did not have a way of reaching far enough into their gullets to get the plastic out. So, they called the world's tallest man, because his arms were long enough to reach inside the dolphins and pull the plastic out.
A completely ridiculous story—perhaps, some might say, ridonculous. Yet while the "mainstream press" can only focus on the tall dude, leave it to my brilliant wife to look for the real story. "What I really want to know," she said, "is who the troubleshooter at the aquarium was that said, There's nothing we can do. Unless... unless! Sally! Get me the yellow pages... we need to find the tallest man in the world. Because that's the kind out-of-the-box thinking that deserves some props. Someone get that guy a raise."
