Old Man Pratt and the Cornfield

As told by Johnny Glascock...







One day me an' Ronnie Hall went deer hunting in Caroline County an’ when it got dark we decided to go to old man Pratt's farm an’ spotlight some deer.

So we're drivin’ through old man Pratt's cornfield an' some headlights come up behind us. We take off an’ get farther an' farther ahead an’ Ronnie says, "We'd better slow down and let this poor fella catch up!" So we slow down and see it’s Mister Pratt behind us. We take off again, then get too far ahead an’ Ronnie slows down again an’ lets old man Pratt get right up on his bumper, then takes off. Ronnie lets him catch up again an’ this time Mister Pratt pulls up behind us an’ gets out of the truck and starts to walk up to the car, an' Ronnie takes off again, laughing. Mister Pratt gets back in his truck an' comes after us again. Ronnie gets way ahead of him again an’ we do this for a while until we get bored then go back to the highway an’ take off back toward Fairfax.

Old man Pratt never did catch us.
