Washing dishes is not on the wide world of sports. It's not extreme enough, nor does it have anything to do with spurting of blood. Now, if the same feller were challenged to wash dishes while, for example, scaling the side of a mountain, it would be termed "extreme dishwashing," and placed right up there with bunjee jumping and "extreme ironing."

In the musical, Camelot, Guinevere described "what women want"(?-not!):

"where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
where are all those adoring daring boys?
will the knights fight and kill for me and
let their blood be spilled for me?
Oh, where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
