The Highland Games included a Sheaf Toss, an event in which the
contestants attempt to hurl a 20 pound bag of hay over a crossbar
with a pitchfork. My theory is that this game was invented by an old
man trying to convince his kids that he had it rough when he was
a kid. "Och, when I was a wee laddie, we did nae have video
games or Razor scooters! All we had to play wit' was a bag of hay
and a pitchfork! And we were grateful for it!"
