The Finns apparently have a better handle on their priorities than their Danish neighbors. While the Danes are busy desert fitting their lawn equipment, the Finns are holding wife-carrying championships. You gotta love the spirit of an event where carrying a woman (any woman over 108 lbs will do – and she only has to be your “wife” for the day) through a 279 yard obstacle course could win you her weight in beer. Honest. And they say romance is dead.
