Jethro McGill come up with the idea of making a maze in his cornfield and charging for it. That way he could just sit at the exit and collect the money and play hoedown music on his fiddle. I heard they has corn mazes in other places but Jethro's is the only one I been to. Peoples enjoy it and you can hear them just alaughing as they poke around trying to find their way out. Now a bad thing happened a few year ago. This family from Slidell in Louisiana had heard about the maze and come up to see it. There were so many of them they come in two cars. Well, while they was wandering around in the corn it commenced to rain and it didn't just rain it come a frog strangler. The family and all the other peoples come out of there like nobody's business and jumped in their two cars and took off. Jethro run to his house too. And they forgot they grandma. She were almost ninety year old and had a quivery voice anyway but with all the rain and thunder ain't nobody heard her meager yells. It were hours before the family realized she warn't with them. It were after they was already home. One of the cars come back for her and it were already dark and had turned off cold. Don't worry she were all right after she got home and taken a hot bath and had some of her sister's chicken soup what they claim can cure anything short of cancer. But that warn't the problem. Her family come back and wanted to sue Jethro. They claim she won't stop talking about how they deserted her. All day, ever day. Willie's boy, the big New Orleans lawyer, taken the case, but the judge threw it out.
Claimed he if he had to listen to his mother-in-law they could darn well put up with theirs.
