Never seen somebody pick up one of those. You'd need a forklift truck

As someone who's picked up multiple 300+lb men I can tell you they all have the same reaction when their feet leave the ground. Pure, unadulterated, panic. It's quite amusing honestly.

He should get a job as a forklift. Dunno who would drive him though.

Did this with a great Dane once. Bloody hilarious.

Also really effective for a quick redirection of behavior
