I’m peeved. Super peeved. I just learned of the Sauna Championships and I wasn’t invited! I love a good shvitz. I dream nightly of being a successful talent agent, sitting in a hot room with other naked men, discussing deals and moving mountains.
When the temperature got in the 90s here and everyone was sweating/kvetching through their clothes, I enjoyed it. Not just because I sweat constantly and could finally feel normal. But mostly because you can’t find a good sauna in Burlington. I’ve tried. I’ve asked everyone. Even the old timers down at the retirement home.
Could I have won this championship? Of course not. The 97 year old Brooklyn man could have. Because contestants should be age restricted to 75+. And they shouldn’t HAVE TO be Jewish, but they should be required to speak with an accent or not be from America.
I’m not surprised someone died because of this. There is a reason why old people move to Arizona and Florida. This sport (that’s right, I called it a sport) is not for the young(ish) of heart.
