Did you ever notice in the movie Stand By Me that when the boys come to the bridge and Vern asks, "Any of you guys know when the next train is due?"... instead of walking 5 miles down river to another bridge and 5 miles back, they choose to cross the railroad bridge and then have to out run the oncoming locomotive and barely avoid a nasty, bloody end... so why didn't anyone say, "Hey, Gordie or Chris Or Vern Or Teddy, why don't we just hang out and wait for the next train? After it passes then we'll go across. How's that for logic?" Hmmmm?
Maybe it wouldn't be as dramatic but at least Vern wouldn't have lost his comb!
