How do you fold or wad a corncob? 😕

Re: “Racy” jokes  
I have a pink box about 12 inches long, four inches wide, and half an inch thick. On the outside of the box it simply says “Pussy Stretcher”. Inside is a stretcher (two sticks with cloth between them) with an injured cat printed on the canvas. I have no idea where my dad got it, nor how old it is.

Is this where the word **cornhole** originated? 😃

While it’s possible, **cornhole** first appears in print in about 1916 as a noun. 1938 as a verb(but referring to about 1920).
