The Perfect Back Contest

Several different organizations conducted contests for "The Perfect Back." (Why no males were ever invited escapes me.) But the National Chiropractic Association version seems the longest-running and most-publicized. The fellow enjoying himself is one Dr. Charles Wood.

Not only should they make the contest open to both sexes, they should ditch the high heels as well. Everybody knows how bad those things are for one's back. Maybe they could introduce an agility test where contestants would walk with a book on their head over an increasingly rough terrain; the longest distance would win.
