Finger Jousting

I have no idea what caused me to skim my webhost's email that they send out each month this morning, but I am glad I did! Otherwise, I'd have never discovered the wonderful world of Finger Jousting! From their website:

Finger jousting is a sport where two consenting players square off in an attempt to prod their opponent with their lancing (right) index finger before the opposing player can. The competitors must keep their right hands locked in an arm wrestling fashion and not use their legs or latent (left) arm in an offensive manner. The competitors are known as jousters, and the act of touching the other person’s body with the index finger is known as lancing. A player can lance anywhere except the lancing (right) arm.

The videos I've found on YouTube have been entertaining to watch. Here is footage of their 1st ever tournament.
