Imagine being a village strongman. Sounds awesome and annoying at the same time.

As a tall person, I kind of understand the experience. Whenever I put my mighty powers of slightly longer torso to the benefit of others, I like to make sure to announce to those who have benefitted that I am a "Friend to the littles".

'Hey Strongman, a banyan tree fell on my grandma again. Haha. If you don't mind'

'It's ok. Hrrrrrhhhhhh'

I'm the only man in my family under the age of 60. It's my job to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.

I do it already for fun and sport. Do I get pay and/or elevated status?

People will totally be grateful to you! It’s like being a firefighter light: you get to help people, it’s impressive, and it’s kind of a hassle a lot of the time. I was going to say it’s a lot safer, but given the picture, I don’t know if that’s a given

I will pick up everything.
