Wife Carrying, The Worm-style

In my book, I lay out the rules for the World Championship of Wife Carrying, a competition held annually every summer in Finland. (If this sounds familiar, you may have read it here, or seen the inevitable knock-off version held in Maine last weekend.) And as surreal and hilarious as the rules can be, it just doesn't compare to the actual experience of watching a man run an obstacle course with a 110 pound wife (his or a "neighbor's") clinging to his back like a capuchin monkey. Now, thanks to the magic of youtube, it's like we are there. With Dennis Rodman.
