This story made me laugh when I read it. About an hour away from me, in Danvers, MA a family got lost in a massive corn maze. They had to call 911 and have police rescue them - but they were only about 25 feet from the exit:

A father and mother with two children used their cell phone to call Danvers Police at 6:32 p.m. reporting that they were lost in the corn maze. Danvers Officer Justin Ellenton responded to the call and entered the corn maze with Connor’s Farm manager Ritchie Potter to search for the family.

Within nine minutes of entering the maze, Officer Ellenton and Potter found the family. The family had almost found their way out, unbeknownst to them, they were only 25 feet from the street.

“We had a few people who got a bit lost last year but they found their way out,” Connor said. “There is no wire or fence around the maze, so if they really want or need to get out all they have to do is listen for the sound of traffic they can always make their way through the corn rows to the road.”

Funny, but still not as funny as my all-time favorite 911 call:
