Poll question: The great corn controversy
How do you eat your corn on the cob, across or around? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was at a house warming party today and since we all detest bush and like the Red Sox all there was to argue about was how to eat corn on the cob.

Around is of course the proper way. Across...that just ain't right!

4. Eating it around rather than across is like wiping your ass side to side
rather than vertically.

9. That begs the question
If across, is it right-to-left-then-left-to-right or typewriter style?

11. Purely academic
and while I'm sure someone somewhere has written a thesis on the great right to left vs. left to right dialectic, across is still wrong and should be rejected out of hand.

10. Cut off the cob and "milked" for that creamed corn texture.
Okay, I can't eat much corn as it is....
