Who would bring a 3-week-old infant to a corn maze?

Well this family did, and they got lost...had to call 911 for a rescue once night fell. The police came and sent in the dogs, who had no problem finding the family.

No.

I guess those corn walls were pretty sturdy eh? Couldn't just walk through the corn to get out?
 
Awesome Venn diagram :smile:

Just few days ago, I was dreaming of starting a maze business.

After the news of these flakes popped up, I sent my investigators to Danvers to see if there was a kernel of truth to this corny story that has caused a bumper crop of bad puns. I am able to announce that it is true, and that the National Enquirer has bought the rights to the story and will soon serialize it.

I hope the couple was billed for their rescue - and their stupidity.

You could but since you are lost you would just end up walking in circles. Then other people in the maze would find your circle and everyone would be lost.:approve:

If they had BlondeStar, they would have gotten immediate assistance without having to have public emergency teams respond at tax payer expense.
