Seven-Year-Old Wins Iceland Ram Groping Contest

Seven-Year-Old Wins Iceland Ram Groping Contest

Actually (I'm not kidding), he only did the best among the non-professionals.

Which means Iceland has several professional ram gropers.

And you thought your job sucked.

At least the professionals get paid to grope rams. The others in the contest do it for fun. I'm thinkin' that amateur ram groping could become Iceland's #2 tourist attraction. I picture a commercial in which a mellow baritone voice intones: "Welcome to Iceland. You'll come for the hot springs; you'll stay for the ram groping."

“One year a contestant was able to rank the rams correctly and described them all in a poem. That was very interesting”

You may wonder, "What do they mean by 'correctly'?" The rams are first graded by some kind of technology. Oh, science, is there no limit to thy wonderments?

The winners of the contest are the ones who come closest to the machine's ratings. This leads one to inquire: why do they need professional gropers when the machine's ratings are already defined as "correct"? On the other hand, no machine has ever written a poem about groping rams.

"Ram gropers are of all ages and walks of life. Among the prizes is sperm from the Insemination Center of West Iceland, which is much appreciated among sheep farmers."

The losers, of course, will be stuck with the dreaded EAST Iceland sperm. The sorry bastards.
