Boston - One family got more mystery than they bargained for when they took an outing to a corn maze -- they got lost among the stalks as it got dark and needed the police to get them out, the owner said. Around 6:35 p.m., Danvers police received a call from a family who couldn’t find their way out of the seven-acre corn maze at Connor’s Farm in Danvers, and were getting nervous because it was dark. A police officer and K-9 unit quickly located the family. “We design the maze so that people get lost,” said Bob Connors, owner of the farm. Though the farm closes at 6 p.m., they let guests continue to walk around the maze past closing time, and farm staff attends the maze until the last guest has left, Connors said. “We don’t like to rush people out of the maze. We like to give people their money’s worth,” Connors said. “I’m sure they won’t be the last family who gets lost in there.”

First of all, lets clear one thing up, no one ever has gotten their money's worth at a corn maze. It's just not possible. If I wanted to get lost amongst tall objects for a couple hours I'd just stroll around some part of the city I'm unfamiliar with and get lost with all the tall buildings. I don't need to pay $15 bucks to stroll through your farm and see countless ears of corn.
Second of all, what the hell was this husband doing? Dude, you let your wife call 911? What is wrong with you? It's a freaking corn maze, walk through corn stalks (stocks?). You realize that's an option, right?
I went to a corn maze last year, one of the worst days of my life, spent like two hours walking around in circles, we finally just gave up and walked out...that's the thing about corn mazes, you can finish whenever you want. You don't have to follow the path, you can just walk between the rows, it's not like these things are laced with barbed wire or anything.
Just a humiliating story for men everywhere, making us all look bad dude.
