High On Corn

Actually, high in the corn. With a car. And with two police cars in hot pursuit.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch farmer watched in disbelief as a driver under the influence of cocaine drove a slalom course through his corn field, only to be joined by two police vehicles in hot pursuit, adding to the damage.

Police, backed up by a helicopter, eventually managed to corner the 35-year-old driver after he careered into a neighboring orchard and crashed into a ditch.

"Shoot out two tires… then the problem is solved," irate farmer Ad van Schendel told police, according to the Brabants Dagblad newspaper.

That last comment shows how ignorant some folks are about guns. Shooting out a tire is not at all easy. In fact, it is impossible with many handguns. But we digress. There is a picture posted of the damage over at this site. The good news for the farmer? He now has a ready made corn maze! It could be a gold mine for him.
