The history of the race is unknown, but it is said that it stemmed from a 17th-century gang who stole already married women from nearby villages.Sure. But after stealing someone's wife, do you really have to CARRY her a few miles? Why not get one with her own legs? Too many questions. Like, does the weight of the beer prize include the bottles? A technicality not easily overlooked.

Die trying.
To: Libloather
Better not be Bud Lite.
So, if the wife weighs an even 50 kilos, that would work out to 13.75 gallons of beer. (I refuse to measure beer in liters.)

Finally a decent reality show.

"Die trying."
At least there's a prize for that:
Today men went head to head to win one of six titles - Winner, second place, third place, most entertaining couple, best costume and strongest carrier.

Any wives carrying their husbands?
To: Libloather
FR can sometime be depressing reading all the insanities running loose in our country.
But every once in a while a fun story like this comes along to put a smile on your face.
