Silly Table Manners

While I was having lunch in the cafeteria, I overheard this suburban-looking soccer-mom wondering where the holder is for her corncob. Up to that point, I had never heard of a corncob holder before and I couldn't help but snicker when she held the cob upright with one hand and then proceeded to slice the kernels off the cob. Everyone I know eats corn like Goofy in Disney cartoons, where you chomp on the kernels while sliding the cob across your teeth. It may not be accompanied by wacky music, as in a Disney cartoon, but it's easy and fast and gets the job done.

Maybe I need a dining etiquette coach. NOT!!
