Local corn!

No two words in the English language cause me to instantly pull over faster than Local Corn. It doesn't matter where I'm going, or what I'm late for... I will always instantly pull over for a sign proclaiming "Local Corn". Up until I have seen the sign, it has never occurred to me that I am in great need of corn right that second, but apparently that is the case. A sign that says simply "Corn" is just another sign. Local Corn means break lights.
