Man Pushes Brussels Sprout Up a Mountain with His Nose

Ah well...an absolutely splendid good day to you. Wonderful to see you! How's the traffic in cyberspace. Bet there's a lot more there than going up the side of a mountain in Wales, there is. Fill your coffee mug and munch on a virtual doughnut while I tell you about the latter...

49-year-old Englishman Stuart Kettell is without a doubt the first man ever to successfully push a Brussels sprout up a 1,085-meter mountain, using his nose. This weekend, Stuart managed to climb Snowdon – the highest mountain in Wales – on all fours, while pushing a Brussels sprout with his nose. You might think he’s crazy, but he actually took on the bizarre challenge to raise money for charity.

“On the 30th of July, I’m going to be pushing a brussels sprout up Mount Snowdon with my nose,” Stuart announced on his blog. “A trial run at Snowden – 0.1 mile took me 50 minutes. And that was while really driving the sprout hard, pushing it along with my nose. So I’ve calculated that it’s actually going to take me four to five days to complete the challenge. Very rough terrain up there, it’s all slate and rocks and steps.”

On the scheduled date, Kettell began his ascent of the 1,085-m mountain on the morning in order to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Considering the crazy difficulty of the challenge, there were few people who actually thought he could pull it off, but Stuart himself had faith in his abilities. After all, the professional fundraiser had put himself through several other bizarre fundraising challenges before.

My, that is something for the old Curriculum Vitae, isn't it.

" Ah, so you're seeking employment with our firm, are you, Mr. Kettell?
 

"Yes, that's right."

"And what do you do, exactly."

"I push Brussels sprouts up mountains."

"Ah, yes, I see. Been doing it long?"

"Five days."

"Well thank you for coming in, Mr. Kettell. We'll be in touch if a vacancy should arise for a person with your unique skills. Bye-bye now. Close the door on your way out. There's a good chap."

(Aside to colleague..."Cor... another bloody nutcase. They seem to be coming out of the flipping wood these days.)

See ya, eh!
