A Small Disagreement

I've seen the claim of the World's Smallest Woman at the Mississippi State Fair. I've shaken my head and marveled at the epic redundancy of the "29 tiny inches small" descriptive claim. But this year, even without paying money to go inside*, I have a feeling there's some hoodwinking going on.

How am I so sure?

Because, while here we have the 29" World's Smallest Woman ...

THIS year, just across the midway, LESS THAN 30 FEET from the 29 TINY INCHES SMALL "WORLD'S SMALLEST WOMAN," you will now find this:

THAT'S RIGHT. Another claim of the World's Smallest Woman, WITHIN SPITTING DISTANCE of the 29" (alleged) wonder. And this one is claiming to be a mere 27". We can only assume they, too, are tiny inches of small, as with the 29" woman.

Which either means the interloping 27" chick is lying.

Or the 29" former champ better pack her tiny suitcase and go.

OR, the Fair is about to be the setting for the tiniest brawl in the world.

(Yeah. I have a hard time taking the Fair seriously. And this "freak show" aspect, in particular. I suppose if everyone involved is happy and making a living, well, then ... but you get my point. See asterisked foot note below.)

*I would never do that. World's Smallest Horse, MAYBE; human on display, not so much. Though I do know and love some who have entered those darkened tents to see who dwells within. From what I understand, it's a sad and otherwise underwhelming experience.
