http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret_legging   

Ferret legging, also known as put 'em down,[2] is a sport that seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England.[3] The Official Dictionary of Unofficial English defines it as "an endurance test or stunt in which ferrets are trapped in pants worn by a participant".[4] The male-only contestants put live ferrets inside their trousers; the winner is the one who is the last to release the animals. Reg Mellor, a retired miner from Barnsley, holds the world record at five hours and twenty-six minutes, a feat he achieved in 1981 at the age of 66.

But wait!

In the sport of ferret legging, competitors tie their trousers at the ankles before placing two ferrets inside and securely fastening their belts to prevent the ferrets from escaping.[2] Each competitor then stands in front of the judges for as long as he can.[5] Competitors cannot be drunk or drugged, nor can the ferrets be sedated.[6] In addition, competitors are not allowed underwear beneath their trousers,[7][8][9] which must allow the ferrets free access from one leg to the other,[3] and the ferrets must have a full set of teeth that must not have been filed or otherwise blunted.[6] The winner is the person who lasts the longest.[10][11]

The sport is said to involve very little "native skill",[3] simply an ability to "have your tool bitten and not care".[12] The current world champion, Reg Mellor, is credited with instituting the practice of wearing white trousers in ferret legging matches, to better display the blood from the wounds caused by the animals.[12] Competitors can attempt, from outside their trousers, to dislodge the ferrets, but as the animals can maintain a strong hold for long periods, their removal can be difficult.[2]

In 1972, the ferret legging record stood at 40 seconds.[3][27] A few years later, the record had risen to over one minute,[27] and eventually 90 minutes. In 1977, Edward Simpkins from the Isle of Wight set the new world record of five hours and ten minutes, though he only had one ferret in his trousers the first four hours and two the last seventy minutes. Simpkins sustained two large bites during the attempt to break the record, but continued to play a game of darts undeterred.[28]

Up north, you still have to endure several arduous rounds of ferret-legging before you can truly be considered a man.

You can still be considered a man after your balls have been torn off by weasels?

Richard Whitely was the most fucking macho guy ever. You ever see anyone else with the balls to go onto television with the words "CUNTDOWN" all over there tie? You ever see an older, portly, gentleman go into the middle of a dance floor with a bunch of teenagers, for a bet, and actually impress them with his making of shapes?

The man had a giant shitassing clock for fuck sakes!

EDIT: SHIT FUCK I FORGOT! HE ACTUALLY BOMBED THE FUCK OUT OF MARGARET THATCHER!

[Jean-Lustine d'Hadamard]

The man had a giant shitassing clock for fuck sakes!

Don't you even think of having the cheek to try and convince me the fucker went all the way round.

I wouldn't.

All I'm going to say is that the clock was so huge he only ever could use half of it.
