Kids these days

Dadelus has a story:

When I was in the Air Force we took a group of High School kids from the city on a tour of Scott AFB in late June. For those who have never seen Scott, AFB much of the base is surrounded by cornfields.

One of the kids asked "Why don't they mow down all those weeds?"

I told him. "Those aren't weeds, thats corn.

He responded. "Yeah right, you can't fool me! Corn is yellow!"

I wish he was kidding but I actually had to stop the car and grab an ear off the stalk to show him what it was.
