Yesterday, from the bus window I could see a downtown bank having some sort of employee appreciation day. There were two teams of roughly a dozen at a Tug-of-war contest, with many others cheering them on. It looked like great fun.
Behind me sat a teenager, he described the struggle as "Some kind of country shit." Other teens and adults agreed with him as they tried to understand.
I remember Tug-of-war being the best part of elementary school gym, as well as my dad's company outings. Are they not allowed anymore? Has our litigious society added it to the list of ready cash actionable causes? "My kid broke his arm and got muddy! Pay up!"
Maybe, they'll watch a YouTube, Tug-of-war video later. It's the same as participating, no?
