Sway-bar dispute similar to playground antics
Apr
1
Jack Roush accusing Toyota of stealing a sway bar isn’t exactly the same as my kids squabbling over toys, but there is a familiar feeling about the two.
Yes, whenever my boys have a dispute over a Lego, the classic line, “It’s mine, and he took it” is spoken at some point - a sentiment no doubt felt by Roush.
Now, the child who did take the Lego, and knows full well he did, has to artfully back his way out of the situation (Michael Waltrip). When other kids (or teams) question the “method” by which the Lego piece came into custody, well, that just makes coming clean difficult to do.
Even after the sway bar, I mean Lego, in question is returned, the accuser demands the perpetrator be sent to his room for the wretched violation.
There are some obvious differences between Legos and sway bars. When a Lego piece goes missing, “industrial espionage” is rarely a term thrown around on the playground.
But, not coincidentally, Jack Roush earns a little more money for his special “NASCAR creations” than do my boys for those made with Legos.
