Men, ditch those handbags and carry your wife instead. This activity may seem somewhat primitive, but getting a doting (and strong) husband to carry his wife while navigating an obstacle course is an actual competitive event.
STOMPer HeadOverHeels sent in pictures he found online and said:
"Handbag-carrying? Now that's for weaklings. A real man's sport is wife-carrying.
"The Wife Carrying World Championship takes place annually in the Finnish province of Sonkajarvi and other parts of the world, including America, India and even China.
"If you think it's funny, try carrying your wife. You will definitely gain tough muscles from it, plus you've got to navigate an obstacle course.
"It's no joke okay. The terrain is rough and rocky and the husband must cross rivers and climb fences without losing grip of his dear wife.
"Of course, the modern day version of the sport caters for S.N.A.G.s too with soft sand and even a pool.
"No cheating either. Your wife must weigh at least 49 kg -- but there's no limit on her maximum weight.
"It's all good because the prize in Finland is your wife's weight in beer, amongst other good things.
"Now the only problem is deciding how you will carry your wife -- piggyback, fireman's lift or Estonian-style (wife hangs upside-down with legs around your shoulders, holding your waist)."
