Well, on my way home from the dry cleaners where I picked up over 40 shirts that were pressed (yes, I have that many dress shirts) I decided it would be quicker to walk the four minutes home instead of throwing the shirts in my nearby car and driving. With each arm carrying 20 shirts I thought the first minute was a cake walk. By the second minute I was thinking about this post and how this could be a new competition - World's Strongest Business Man! Men would compete in numerous events like the dry cleaning walk, the paper ream dead lift, and the printer toss. By the time I was at three minutes I was grimacing and reminding myself to breath. I felt like Mangnus Samuelsson and wondered when the exhaustion would hit and I would tumble to the ground along with all my clean, pressed shirts.
And then I got to my apartment's front door, held all the clothes with one arm while getting my keys, and made it into the door. Only to realize that I had three more sets of stairs to climb. This was a decent first training session, but my sights will be on the 2010 World's Strongest Business Man competition! Where's my masseuse? My traps are killing me.

The ironic thing about the Strongest Man competitions is that they used to be filmed in exotic locations such as Malta or other random places along the Mediterranean Sea. Last year's competion was filmed in Charleston, WV. That's right, the fine capital of the Mountaineer State.
As you are planning the World's Strongest Business Man competition, have the foresight to plan enough locations so you don't subject the competition to this - or know when you've jumped the shark.
Just as my name says, it's time that you publish a new post, homeboy.
