And old friend of mine managed a movie theater that was not the safest place in the world. One night he brought the security guard with him to some party. His nickname was "BIg D." The guy was really big and really strong. At one point, two guys were struggling to walk a full 1/2 keg down an open set of stairs from the roof. Big D walked over, grabbed the keg by its top and bottom and carried it across the room without ever putting it against his chest. Despite his size and strength, he had tried out for the Eagles and didn't make the team.
