‹ chat statusIt's that time of year in the Midwest. Farmers with time on their hands, money to burn, or just plain crazy, are making grand designs in their corn fields for "tourists" to walk through.
Now, why would anybody in their right mind want to pay to walk in circles through a field of corn? ($8 a head I read)
These are mazes, the designs of which can only be seen from a plane.
You have no other view than corn as you wander hopelessly in search of the exit. I fail to see the thrill in that. I suppose it's the challenge, but I can think of far better challenges than paying to walk through a hot dusty corn field.

Wow! Lots of comments on this one... I've always wondered what it would be like to be lost in one of these mazes. Can you pick some corn while you're wandering through? Fresh corn! 
Eight dollars would buy a lot of ice cream to eat while I work my crosswords.
I just love the crazy, fun things Americans can come up with. Talk about enterprise! Great post.
Nice play on words, albeit a little "corny". Yes, I have.
They're all over, although not as many this year with corn prices so high.
