Why don't they have a wife-riding contest--see which wife can ride the longest? I used to lift my wife over my head and balance her on one hand. Now, I can't even bend over. Age will do it to ya!

Most American men wont last too long in the competition because of their obese wives.

Okay. Why did I have a flashback to the episode of MASH where they has their own Olympics? The docs were carrying nurses in a race. Maj. Houlihan was carried by her (soon to be ex) husband.

My beautiful wife of 26 years, 52 Kg and half Finnish-American, would say it would be more then Sisu for me to enter this contest, as she would challenge me outright to a 2730 (27300?) meter footrace. We are of course still in love, but there is no love lost when it comes to the track with this one!

Sarah Palin quit the GOP because she is getting ready to lose some weight and then join this competition next year ... to be carried (or the other way around).

Redneck and minorities husbands from USA would never win, you know why! HAHAHA! Have you ever seen those huge mamas from American inner cities or the South-Mid West? Let alone the chances of finding a married couple in a single mother infested ghettos are practically zero.

The solution? Marry a chink, they eat a little bit, they stay fresh and skinny for a long time, they love you long time....
I have a few asian girlfriends and they are very polite and unspoiled. They don't drink and don't smoke. They do whatever you tell them to do. As a western woman i often find myself being in charge of them, as if they are my slaves

It doesn't sound so bad, it could be worse, there could be a wife throwing contest! Worse yet a neanderthal hair pull drag race.
