Go Ahead Pick Some Corn

Today there was helpless dude buying corn next to me. He very obviously had no idea how. Here is a hint for some of you. At least peel back the husk to see if it is all dried up or rotten. If you are realy into it. Press a few of the kernals and see if the pop or if they are mushy. He was judging his corn purely based on husk color I think. He also seemed embarrassed standing next to me, knowing that I was swatching him struggle with corn.
