First of the Season

"Did I ever mention that I hate the way you eat corn on the cob?"
George snorts and nearly chokes on a mouthful.
"Why?"
"I don't know... you're so messy about it."
"Well, how can you eat corn without making a mess?"
"I don't know. I manage it somehow."
Silence for a minute.
"You know what it is... you never lift your mouth up. I lift my mouth away from the cob after each bite to go to the next one. You just feed it through your teeth like a typewriter."
George chuckles around a mouthful as I conclude.
"It's like eating with a ravenous wildebeast."

George is eating corn on the cob in the correct way. Start on one row and keep moving it like a typwriter. then move down a row and continue. Only stoping to add more salt when needed.

Civilised people get their corn from a can.

I can definetely picture George snorting and laughing with corn all over his face. Funny.

Thanks Reed, I agree. There are certain things you can't eat "civilised". Those are corn on the cob, wings, good burgers, ribs, fried chicken, and your first birthday cake.

I think wedding cake is on that list too. And women so rarely complain about that.
