How do you deal with people taking digs at your height?

I'm a short dude (5'8) and I'm dating a girl from a taller family. She's white and while she's not super tall (5'4) her mom is taller than her and her dad and brother are both over 6 ft tall.
I dont really care about my height as I'm 3 inches taller than the average man from my country. I also don't feel like it's an accurate comparison to compare myself to men from the U.S.
Anyways, I usually have other people take digs at my height. Like my girlfriends dad has teased me, some of my other friends have given me **** for being shorter. Do you have any witty comebacks?

You always make with the short jokes first. Especially ones about yourself. It makes them more comfortable and also beats them to the punch.
