Dwarf tossing

Dwarf tossing is a bar attraction in which dwarfs wearing special padded clothing or Velcro costumes are thrown onto mattresses or at Velcro-coated walls. Participants compete to throw the dwarf the farthest. The term "dwarf throwing" is sometimes used. Some say that dwarf tossing probably originated in ancient Mesopotamia. The dwarves in this region at the time were much smaller than those that participate in contemporary tosses and it can be assumed that the toss distances were much farther than what is seen in Australia today. Ancient Mesopotamian dwarf tosses probably exceeded today's records by 5 to 10 feet.This sport is typical from Australia, USA, France, British, Canada.
