Cut it off I have no set way to eat corn on the cob. Sometimes side to side. Other times around and around. I even sometimes cut it off.
Bonus Question: What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents? When I was 12 I had a job working at a general store. There were days the owner would take off and I would be there by myself. More than once while there on my own I would sell a rifle. The same people that owned the store also owned the lodge across the street. I would go there for lunch. It was free if I stocked the beer cooler while they were fixing my lunch. Finally, the same people owned the power company. Once in a while I would degrease the generators. My employement pretty much violated every child labor law ever written.
Extra Credit Question: In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget? Has happened more than once. Was intentional.
Just for Fun: So you win a pet monkey at a fair, but this isn't just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your clothes or hair. What would be the trick? I will pass on the monkey. It would be just my luck it would have lots of bad habits

I've always been a messy corn eater... I just attack it any old how. Disadvantage... makes a mess; advantage... you find areas you missed. Don't usually eat it in front of others due to the mess!
Bonus Question: What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents?
Babysitting from the age of around 14 - for the equivalent of 25 cents an hour. Then I had a Saturday job working in the local newsagents... for about a dollar for the whole day. It seemed reasonable at the time LOL.
Extra Credit Question: In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget? Yes, I've done that... but only once or twice.
Just for Fun: So you win a pet monkey at a fair, but this isn't just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your clothes or hair. What would be the trick? Massage my shoulders while I'm on the computer (which is most of the day)!
Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day holiday weekend... glad to hear on the news the Hurricane Earl wasn't quite the Big Baddy they thought he'd be.
[quote=studedude;15751862]I'm back. Thank you to all those who had kind and supportive words over the last month. Are you ready for the last weekend of summer. You need to make sure you have charcoal, propane, burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob but first answer

Which way do you eat corn on the cob? I can’t eat corn, so I avoid it from all directions. Mrs. Cncracer who loves it will cut it off the cob, but Ms. Cncracer Jr. likes to chomp down on the cob. I am not sure which direction she chomps from, but would guess right to left.

Extra Credit Question: In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget? If I did it was because I did not have the time, or just thought it was not important.
Just for Fun: So you win a pet monkey at a fair, but this isn't just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your clothes or hair. What would be the trick? I think I would have him answer the door and deal with those unwanted solicitors. If he had any free time after that he could deal with the ones who call all the time. I am getting tired of all the political calls which don’t seem to be blocked by the No Call list.

Good mornin', QOTD folks! Hadn't had a chance to get back on and answer anything for a while. Got rid of that hot job I talked about earlier (128 degrees inside the building). Got a new job, air conditioned building and picking up sheets of foam rubber! We make parts for GM. NICE job! lol

Good morning all. Thank you studedude for the QOD.

Which way do you eat corn on the cob?
I eat it left to right but only half way. When I finish the whole left side then I start i the middle of the cob and eat left to right again. I have to do everything from left to right. I'm a little compulsive that way.
What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents? My first real job was at Rustler Steakhouse.

Crank out a bunch of funny money. Then, if I get busted for using counterfeit bills I'll just innocently point the finger at Mr. Monkey.
