Ah, that makes much more sense.  I've just realized I take a more haphazard approach to eating corn in that I'll go vertical or horizontal, and sometimes jump lines. |

Indeed. I just tear in with the reckless exuberance of a Labrador Retriever. No order or symmetry required. Rest assured when finished, it'll all be gone.

We need a sticky delineating corn protocols lest any member go astray...

Regarding the thread title: Was that once a monthly feature in The Ladies' Home Journal? I'm posting it here before googling it. I remember JimmySee having a very eclectic list of influences and sources when he was on the FDP.
Edited to add: Never mind. Too big a can of worms for this forum. Leave the can unopened.

My wife and I are both typewriter style but she will take a break mid ear. Not me.
She will check my work and give me a hard time if I skip a section or two on the cob.

Reminds me of a joke about weary travelers, the farmers mother-in-law, and ears of corn. But I can't repeat it here.

I eat mine with a fork, so don't look for help here. That's right - poke the fork through one end and tear off a fork-full of corn. I'm pretty sure that doesn't make me a sociopath.  |

Not quite, but now we’re watching the other things you do to make sure. If your toilet paper is under instead of over... |

What about squeezing the toothpaste tube?
My bribe cleans off every kernel in an organized fashion.
I just wander randomly.
I don’t have the patience to extract every last bit of meat off
bones. I use my knife and fork, and then pass them on to my bride
who gnaws them clean.
