Why, Catharine, I don't believe that anyone would ever think such a thing
about little
ol' you! Since you could get no one else to bite this, I will take the
opportunity...
I do love fresh corn on the cob, although I have a preference for field
corn...

Now, read this again, Catharine. They mention taste several times. :-)
Who was that whos corn disappeared when it was still immature, and then
later
the babysitter across the street came over and said their corn was
tasteless?
It's often a matter of timing, doncha know.
Besides, TAMU points out, if you don't like the taste, your neighbor prob.
will!
They are very wise to avoid the arguments over taste, as they point out, as
many of their constituents are married....
