I remember a short man once said that if you don't take hormones, you will be at least one head shorter than you are now. I asked, you don't have to envy me so much, he asked.

I think what he said at first was a joke. If you take it as a joke, replying to that sentence is of course a joke. There is nothing wrong with those who want to make fun of others but can't afford to make fun of themselves, and fight back with what you said later! At first, you want to make a joke, no problem. I'll play along, but you lose first and want to lose your temper. Then I won't be here!
