This sounds like a health hazard to me:
Utah Valley State College students got more than they bargained for at a free car contest—vomit, soiled pants and dehydration was the price to pay for a ’95 Ford Taurus. The “Hold on to the Car” competition, sponsored by the UVSC student government, challenged students to hold onto a car as long as they can; the last one standing would win a used car purchased by the school.
However, participants were not allowed to go to the bathroom or switch hands during the competition.
The contest started at 8 a.m. Wednesday with 44 UVSC students with the will to win. By 2 a.m. on Thursday, students were fading fast, said Shawn Bunderson, a member of the social committee at UVSC.
“Some people were dehydrating, but that only caused more problems,” Bunderson said. “People were throwing-up and peeing their pants.”
EW. And for a 1995 Taurus? Are they that desperate for wheels? My fiance could have sold 'em his, with no bodily fluids required.
