"A Can of Corn" is an old baseball term referring to a lazy pop fly easily catchable. But as Jack Paar used to say "I kid you not" on the following datelined Alabama via The Associated Press: A middle school principal wants to stockpile cans of corn and peas in classrooms for students to hurl at possible intruders as a last defense. "The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive. "......the item will give the students a sense of empowerment..........and will make them feel secure." The schools superintendent said the request had generated much discussion in the community but few complaints. Are they all vegans? Of course, these twelve year olds will need time off for pitching practice. And with the Green Giant on your side you could feel invulnerable. Throw in a few limas and we could have succotash.

Perhaps you should ammend the 2nd, again, and give the people the right to carry concealed corn cans, instead. We now bad guys are not vegans . .
