He once came into "The Riv" when I was tending bar, and I was shocked by how short (5' 11 1/2") he was; his stockiness was quite amazing, though, and I think it made him appear to be even shorter than he actually was.

I'll never forget Melissa, his waitress, asking me "He wants Tanqueray and Courvoisier; which glass should I use?"

In the same glass??? I poured it into a highball...it was as two-fisted a drink as I've ever heard of and would have been insulted to have found itself in a brandy snifter.
