Koohii stories:

1) [Danieru] 30-11-2007(149): Two little aliens in a trenchcoat and top hat, trying to look TALL. The bottom one, in the glass helmet, is under the coat. The top one has his top hat pulled down in disguise, so all you can see is his mouth.

2) [noname] 13-6-2008(82): Here we have TWO MOUTHS each wearing a different hat. The top one is wearing a TOP HAT which is know to be as a TALL hat. The bottom one is wearing a SPACE HELMET which is known as an EXPENSIVE hat. (this kanji means both).

3) [atomiton] 26-3-2010(34): Woody and Buzz-light year. Woody (in the cowboy hat) being Taller than Buzz ( in the space helmet) both with big mouths. Thx Minlawc! (adjusted for clarity).

4) [Alunalun] 14-5-2009(19): This is the classic two children trying to be tall enough to get on a fairground ride. The lower child hides under a cover while the upper child stands on his shoulders and talks like he's an adult. But they're still not tall enough! So the top child gets a top hat which j-u-s-t pokes above the 'you must be this tall' line. (and they both have hungry mouths for eating candyfloss once the deception is complete).

5) [Yasser] 19-11-2008(12): A cowboy (here represented by a "top hat" revealing only his "mouth") looks always tall against a ninja wrapped up in his "hood" that reveals only his "mouth".
