Last week, my friend Jake, who is a proud member of the “below-average height club,” decided to go for a walk after a rare rainstorm. As we strolled down the street, he spotted a massive puddle, glinting in the sunlight like a siren calling out to sailors. With a twinkle in his eye, he declared, “I’m gonna jump it!” His confidence was admirable, and I stood back, ready to capture the moment for posterity (or Instagram likes). But the moment he launched himself into the air, he barely cleared the edge — his little legs flailing like he was auditioning for a very ungraceful ballet. Instead of jumping over, he belly-flopped right into the puddle, sending a spray of water flying everywhere, including on me.
Let’s face it; there’s something inherently hilarious about seeing someone so determined yet so wildly outmatched by physics. In that moment, Jake became not just a short guy but an honorary “puddle jumper,” proving that sometimes the biggest splashes come from the smallest of us. As he emerged, soaked but sporting a grin broader than his pint-sized stature, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was a perfect reminder that while he might not be towering over anyone, he sure knows how to make a splash in life!

Short men are adept at jumping over puddles.
N
Its sad really, I occasionally have to do a puddle jump… I always end up looking back at the puddle with tears in my eyes and wonder how many short king’s have drowned there.
L
I’d pour one out for those we’ve lost… but I don’t want to make the puddle any bigger.
S
I totally relate and cry when I look back and see their faces there under the surface like it’s the Dead Marshes by Dagorlad
B
Just shout, “Parkour” when you land and it’s all good.
V
Just buy waterproof boots and wade through those puddles like a Real Man ™. Show those puddles who’s boss!
A
This is NYC. Those puddles are biohazards and will melt your waterproof boots.
M
Or regular shoes and waterproof socks
A
Or waterproof socks and no shoes
F
Or duct tape plastic bags to my feet

Or just use winter boots so you don’t slip on ice? Especially with American Healthcare prices they’ll pay themselves off after a single winter.
E
“no good wet-foot” love it
A
I’m 6’1” and I have to jump over puddles all the time
A
I’m 6’9 and I have to jump puddles. There was the really big puddle when I was in Morocco. I jumped over it and found myself in Rome.
A
That 8 inches really does make a difference. I’m in New York and can only jump as far as Jersey, which isn’t the most tempting of leaps.
B
In terms of leaps, it may be the worst leap you can actually do!
F
>That 8 inches really does make a difference. that’s what he said
N
Fuckin, we got the Jolly Green Giant over here, skipping over The Great Lakes.
G
Yeah but you don’t feel the shame after
A
Only when I miss

“No good wet foot” 🤣
D
Do a spin jump when you do it, that way they’ll get distracted by the amazing jump you did instead of being called shorty
R
Still waiting for the punchline.
S
Are you a short king, because you jumped over it.
L
Get some boots MFer! Walk through that shit like you too cool to be jumping over shit. Like me. A tall 😁
S
Do you have a link to the original?
O
Brother. It ain’t that deep. (Get it? Puddle joke!!)
E
I saw a ~5’5” guy in a TKD tourney reverse hook-kick a 6’2” guy in the face. Granted that’s not typical, but people might should avoid using a broad brush on folks.
T
You sound like a puddle jumper to me!!
L
Must’ve leapt a ton of puddles to be able to jump that high
M
IM TIRED OF IT DAMMIT
P
Were they sponsored by Vessi?
N
So much better with The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony playing in the background
R
I just wait until another shortie misses the jump and I can use them as a stepping stone to cross
B
No good wet foot!
T
Just walk on the snow bank.

I’ve always wondered about the guys who’d lay their coats down for women to walk on. That was honestly a major sacrifice when not everyone had washing machines.
H
Reminds me of how to with John Wilson a bit
R
You have to be [careful when jumping](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjBpDu92eGQ).
Z
I appreciate that a video about stepping into/jumping over puddles was posted on Groundhog Day. IYKYK.
P
Watch out for that first step. It’s a doOOozy!
S
I’m a short king and have genuinely never thought twice or thought negatively about this. It’s fun, it makes me feel active and it’s like a nice little challenge moment. I had no idea any short dudes felt bad about it, wtf. I know this is a joke but it’s def wrapped in truth and I feel sorry this guy ever felt bad about it for even 1 sec. Maybe I just like jumping, idk
S
Hahahahahhed be about 5”9 right
R
5’9” is the national average, it is not short.
P
Why people are wearing baseball hat during winter? It isn’t sunny.
K
People wear baseball hats all the time in the US. There doesn’t need to be a reason.
E
Its true, the sun doesn’t come up in the winter.
A
Is your position that the sun doesn’t shine in most places during winter?
K
They are European, they don’t understand US hat culture
