: I am trying to be sympathetic mister bighead, but i can't imagine what it's like for you because like the kids on the scooters I have a somewhat normal human body. I would like to offer you my shoulder to cry on when times get hard but I am afraid my shoulder is just not big enough for your large flat head! This is very upsetting and now I realize that even a simple hug, something that all of us take for granted, is a physical impossiblility for you. Your arms are way to far apart to put around me, and my arms are just not long enough to span your width. I do have hope that perhaps I could hug you sideways, that might work, as long as I am careful not to poke you in the eye or mouth or something. In the meantime condsider yourself virtually hugged.
: Also, I am sure I can offer you a sympathetic ear or a pat on the back, er..of the head, or whatever.
: Please consider this an offer of friendship!

Thanks for understanding -kat. At least you have considered what a hug might mean for me. As you said, I could suffer damage. Let's face it full frontal hugging is a dangerous sport for me as me face invariably gets bent in one direction or the other. Also, my little hands usually end up right under people's armpits, which offends them and which causes psychological distance. Then there's the whole sideways hugging things which always gets me right in the eye, since usually where a person places their hand is in that small area in the middle of my head, no bigger than a small dinner plate, where all the important elements of my face reside. Still, I know all these people love me. I really do prefer handshakes, for safety reasons. Thanks for being keen on this tip.
