The curtain rods in the Paine garage were 27.5 inches or 698.5 mm and I'm 6'2" or 1870 mm and there is no way I can carry something that long in the way Frazier described. So unless Oswald had gorilla type arms which he didn't, there was no way Oswald would be able to carry 27.5 inch curtain rods between his armpit and his cupped hand!
Try it yourself!

I agree. So it wasn't curtain rods. I believe the curtain rods story was just the excuse Oswald used instead of having to tell a 19 years old Buell Frazier about his martial problems.
So, the bag, which didn't contain curtain rods would have to have been smaller (actually about 10 cm) to fit between Oswald's armpit and the cup of his hand.
Which, of course, also rules out a broken down MC rifle being in that bag.
I'm 6'2" or 1870 mmReally? You are 1,87 meters?
I'm 6'3" and I am only 1,83 meters....
How can you be smaller than me in feet/inches and bigger in meters?
