How to Grill Corn

1.  Buy corn on the cob.  Frozen corn not on a cob will fall into your grill.  No one wants to eat charcoaled corn.

2.  Light grill.  Any sort of grill works fine.  Don't light yourself on fire.  Grilled corn is difficult to enjoy in the emergency room.

3.  Let the grill cool down a bit.  Charred corn does not become popcorn, it becomes burnt corn.

4.  Shuck the corn.  While doing this, refrain from any jokes about how the process is corny or any references to the band Korn.  Failure to abide by these rules while shucking will result in burnt corn.  Guaranteed.

5.  Put the corn on the grill.  Turn it every few minutes.

6.  Your corn should be ready in less then ten minutes.  Grill marks are fine, they just add character.

7.  Enjoy with butter, salt, or butter and salt.
