Couple Lost in Apple Orchard Calls 911

Urban pin-heads. People these days need to go for more walks in the country, relearn how to use their brains, and take a look at the things around them. These two dopes didn’t even have enough sense to use a GPS to get them out.

Maybe we should change the name of their state to DuhMassachusetts.

This was a publicity stunt. Obviously it worked. The ABC affiliate is where he worked as a meteorologist on Boston. If anyone has seen him “jogging” around town in his 1970′s gym shorts, you can back me up on this. He runs around flailing his arms in the air above his head. First time I saw it I though he was running from a burning building. As soon as I saw this and him being interviewed on TV I knew it was a stunt.

Too many years of living in the liberal commune of Massachusetts . The people have become sheep and are incapable of taking care of themself . What will they bo when the bottom falls out of society and there is nobody there to help them . How’s that obama thing working out !!!.

Obama has a lock on reelection, unfortunately, thanks to people like these.

somehow before i started reading the article i knew they where from mass. whats wrong with these people just a couple weeks ago we where looking for people lost in a corn field. if there is one thing i know about this state the people there have a bad sense of direction both geography and politically

Wow, just wow.

Attention inept city folks. Do not go in to the country, you could get lost or even attacked by wild animals if you are so ignorant (the polite word).

You know, if there is any credibility to those claims that the sun is going to shoot some massive solar flares in our direction very soon, that will be strong enough to disable our communication and electrical systems for a lengthy time. There is going to be a massive reduction in urban population as a result of them having to live using their own common sense (seriously lacking) and not relying on their electrical gadgets.

I have a friend who can literally get lost in the mall.
She is totally clueless when it comes to directions.
But.she also could figure it out if she talked her way through her actions.
So I really do want to have some sympathy for this couple.

That being said–this isn’t lost, it’s LAZY.

Massachusetts isn’t so underpopulated that you can walk for days without coming across people, roads or houses.
And a 200 acre farm isn’t THAT big.

It’s not like the trees aren’t planted in rows that you can walk down and find a path which will lead to a road…
And if it was getting dark, then obviously it’s pretty easy to figure out which way is north.
*Hint: Face the sunset, north is to your right.

God protect us from people like this!

I got lost, with the kids, in a local conservation park, when some of our familiar trails were blocked off. We wandered around and around the park, and I was making a game of it for the kids’ sakes, but it was getting dark, and I was gettng scared, especially since unsavory types are known to hang around there sometimes. We finally found the entrance, and I was greatly relieved. However, I would not have called 911. I could hear the vehicles on the main highway, and I knew we could always hike to the road if we had to, and then walk around to where my vehicle was parked.

I can see how the couple would be frightened, but they should have at least been able to stop and think about their situation and how to get out of it. Geez, what’s the worst that could have happened? I would have slept under the stars and eaten some apples until the owners found me.

No word on the quality or quantity of the apples they picked. Was the selection that small they had to go that far out?

Stories like this simply amaze me. MICE can find their way through a maze with walls too high to see over. MICE! How stupid are these people?! Dumber than mice, apparently.

Arrrggh! Shoulda left them out there if they’re that stupid

What a joke! Only 200 acres and you were lost? They could have walked in any direction and been out of in within a few minutes. Also, with 200 acres you can see one end from the other. The stupidity of people today is amazing. We are doomed as a country with idiots like this. These are the type of people who let GPS mapping systems lead them down logging trails in major snow storms. Ridiculous !

Great they should consider running for a political office, they would fit in great with most of batch in DC. Maybe the government needs to step in now and run that apple farm for the safety of the citizens. Obama can appoint an apple farm safety commission.

Don’t believe what you read in the paper or the internet. NO WAY somebody could be this stupid. I refuse to believe it.

I have a 50 that says we are reading about a pair of educated idiots.

The wimping out of America.

Here is another fine example of why some people should not be allowed to breed. I say the gene pool needs to be drained and scrubbed really well this time!

It’s probably not their fault. They were probably eating apples and had to poor really really bad. Of course you’re going to call 911!

Morons !

Are people really getting this stupid? Scary.

“[The farm's owner] said the orchard is about 200 acres…” That’s less than one-third of a square mile, “…and as night began to fall…” and what? The actions of these people, if not the whole of Massachusetts with it’s nanny-state mentality, is a disgrace to the pioneers, mountain men, and desert rats who founded this country and would be ashamed of what it has become. These people need to stay in the department store, stop voting, and leave the farms, and certainly the deserts, mountains, and forests, to those of us who grew up on something other than video games, cell phones, and Big Brother.

Hello. Is this 9-1-1?

Yes. What is your emergency?

I can’t find my glasses. I know I took them off earlier today…

[You live in a nation of helpless morons.]

As the FEMINIZED America falls. What a bunch of advanced idiots this nation is becoming.

This explains a lot, like the continued re-elections of Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy

I’m expecting to read next week of a couple lost on a strawberry field….

“What a joke! Only 200 acres and you were lost? They could have walked in any direction and been out of in within a few minutes.”

Um, this is absolutely not accurate. Maybe they could have gotten out within a few minutes if it was TWO acres, but not two-hundred. Especially with kids slowing them down.

Not that I disagree with your point, that these city-slickers need to stick to what they know. ;)

Yet another demonstration of the inverse relationship between education and valuable skills. As a nation, I fear we are doomed.

This is not newsworthy. Two people had a bona fide emergency, and called for help. Everyone posting negative comments here is an armchair cowboy. For shame.

Dependency is what statism creates. A man that can not help his wife get out of an apple orchard is a gelding. But that’s what the cultural marxists have intended all along. These little helpless people should have been so ashamed when they were told they were the only ones in 85 years who were so pathetic.

Wow, can you believe it – some moron actually tried to pin this on Obama for raising, ” a generation of dependents that can’t find their way out of an orchard without crying for their nanny to come get them.” As bad at math as at logic, I guess. Must be Bush’s fault for proving even the least intelligent among us can get elected.

Re: “Dependency is what statism creates. A man that can not help his wife get out of an apple orchard is a gelding.” More winger illogic and grasping at straws to try and prove a point. Why is the state responsible for their lack of reason? Why aren’t you upset theat the female half of the party has a crappy sense of direction? Paternalism created dependency.

Re: “This is only one facet of the much larger nanny-state, Big-Brother-is-an-enabler issue. We are losing our right to be left alone and some of us resent it.” Good for you – just make sure you don’t cave in and beg for help from the “nanny-state” – the majority of us are more than happy not to waste public resources on anyone who parrots far right catch phrases like “nanny-state.” If you get into trouble, call Rush Limbaugh.

the apple is always better on the other side of the tree

Hmmmmmmmmm, lets see, walk to the edge of the orchard, follow the tree line. IDIOTS!!!!!!

Cassandra, regarding “..just make sure you don’t cave in and beg for help from the “nanny-state…” and “If you get into trouble, call Rush Limbaugh.” How did we get from calling 911 to get us out of an orchard to not calling them under any circumstance? And please don’t accuse this pro-environment, pro-liberty, anti-corporate-personhood, registered-independent of being a member of the far right. Isn’t there a happy middle-ground in there somewhere? What happened to the common-sense-state?

I bet they voted for Ted Kennedy every 6 years too.

On one hand we have idiots with their Tap Out muscle shirts all thinking they are mixed martial arts champs walking around the mall. But these weak, soft typical liberals would be rendered totally helpless if the power goes off for 5 minutes, much less getting lost in a maze. It’s amazing, this breed would have never fought, much less won WW2, we have a bunch of pansies today.

Here is a good idea. Why didn’t they call one of there relatives ask them to come to the farm and either get the owners or when they get there call the lost idiots on there cell phone and there relative can then honk the horn and they can walk in that direction. This isn’t exactly as if they were lost in the Sahara desert.

Many of those saying the couple were idiots apparently haven’t been out in the woods – or don’t realize the challenge they can present to people used to living around road grids. Once I was following the U.S. Army War College Guide to the Battles of South Mountain and Antietam and was on-site on Maryland’s South Mountain reading the first-person soldier-accounts of how one southern regiment kept getting lost in the woods and spent the whole day marching toward the sound of firing without getting into action. Though today that woods is small and the Guide includes directions like “take the left path at the large pile of rocks,” it took me half an hour to find my way out of it and back to my car. No wonder the reb’s got lost!

Could be related to the state’s tendency to vote democrat
POSTED BY: SNAPPERBOY******** and pick Ronmey,
as a lost Governor and Brown as a GOP puppet Senator.
I guess it is related.

My wife is a “directionally challenged” Heckawi Indian but she’s smart enough to know it and take precautions to keep herself out of trouble.
Evidently my wife is smarter than a lot of folks.
