Run in circles, scream and shout!

Is that from Patrick McManus' story on Getting Lost?

Behavior modes once one realizes that one is LOST!

The "Modified Stationary Panic" ("Run in circles, scream and shout!"), as opposed to the "Full-Bore, Linear Panic" wherein one runs off in a straight line, screaming until they carom off a large, solid object (boulder, tree) and take up a new direction.

(BTW, Patrick McManus passed away this past April. His humor will be sorely missed)

I don't remember where I saw/heard this. The whole thing is:

When in danger

or in doubt.

Run in circles,

scream and shout.
