Sumos…Big hands = big slaps

Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility.

But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any other action that involves a moderate degree of fine-finger motor skills. Piano Concertos, for example, are completely out.

It’s not because Sumos are kinetic retards. Far from it. It’s just that the beefy chaps (and girls) find it a touch frustrating managing the process of punching keys any smaller than a R5 coin, owing to their full-figured-fingers (I shotgun this phrase pre-emptively for use as a biscuit brand name).

Thus, in their tech-wisdom, Sumo Stable Managers in Japan are dishing out iPads to their chunky warriors in an effort to maximise their ease of communication.

Just because you weigh 200 kilograms doesn’t mean you don’t have a right to be plugged in.
