Did you known that the sport of
ferret legging is open only to sober male contestants, who must first remove their underwear?
Ferret legging, also known as
put 'em down, is a sport that seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England.
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". 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.
