Family Lost In Corn Maze Calls 911

I guess they never heard of the right hand rule?

I learned it watching Batman in the early 70's......

Yeesh! It's a corn field. [strike]Unless they did something really unusual to build the maze[/strike], you pick a row, and plow straight through the corn until you hit a fence or a road. Take your bearings and proceed as indicated.

The couple of mazes I have been in, you cant really do that. They put up fencing of sorts, more like plastic chicken wire, to keep kids from destroying the maze in the month that it is open.

But there are people on staff that will come get you if you start hollerin...

The last corn maze I was in had fencing as well, the orange plastic snowdrift fencing. Made things more difficult, but someone with a little nerve and determination could have gotten past it.

Bottom line is these people were happy-go-lucky under-prepared fools with a passive and helpless approach to problem solving. Also stupid and prone to panic, which kind of goes with the passive/helpless thing.

Construction fencing be damned. If you're a man and don't carry a pocket knife by choice...well you're not very much of a man*.

*A man is always prepared. And doesn't get lost 25 feet into a corn maze.

This is straight up incompetence.

Preach it, brother. Shout it from the mountain tops.

How do you think I learned it?

I actually went into a cornfield for the first time last weekend; It was the monthly shotgun outing and afterwards volunteers go out to retrieve unbroken targets (the landowners re-use them with manual throwers). First time I was there when it wasn't already harvested. Its pretty interesting how quick you can 'feel lost'. I doubt I got more than about 600 feet from the barn (kept walking until i didn't see any clays) but it really would have been easy to get turned around in there.

Good thing they left a horn going at the barn

I actually learned this in a Nightwing/Flash one shot issue, but it was the left hand rule. I use the rule while playing NetHack.

A) Being in a cornfield is the creepiest shit, bar none, I've ever done. No, I'm not kidding.

B) A man is hard-wired to look his wife in the eyes and say "Watch this," and then start kicking the shit out of things and people until the danger goes away. That this fellow didn't do so tells me there's a problem. I got a $20 bill says the wife who nagged his kill instinct out of him will yell at him for "not doing something" when they get home.

What I want to know is how did this "person" father a child? He has no balls
