Aside from my knees being tired, this is the part that would kill me:

Most importantly, you must hold down the frothy brew.

None of those guys look like they drink anything. Never mind beer. snicker.
"...for not drinking enough beer..." S'what happens when you send a 23 year old boy to do a fat old guy's job. Even though doing anything involving 400 meters would be fatal to said fat old guy. snicker. And 1600 meters isn't a mile.

1,600 metres is 5,249.34 feet or .99419 miles - close enough to a mile I think; after all the 30 foot shortfall is only the length of a good sized bar

....after all the 30 foot shortfall is only the length of a good sized bar

Which just happens to be the distance between making it to the mens room or having wet trousers.

doing a mile in LESS then 4 minutes is pretty FAST.
when I was 18 and in basic combat training at Ft. Knox, I ran the mile with combat boots, m14 rifle and steel pot in 5:58 and I just barely got the 100 points for that part of the PT test. after 6 minutes, you got less points. 15 minutes was FAIL.... (that comes out to 4 mph or walking fast).
