As soon as I posted that line, I thought of [this thread I started in Thread Games at the end of last month](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/that-ship-has-sailed/996861/25). ---

👏 👏 👏 Also one of my old jokes I really liked about commas. What’s the difference between a comma and a puma? One is a pause at the end of a clause, and the other has claws at the end of its paws. (I’m sure I’ve shared that on this board at some point in the past.) ---

If he had told the same story with different details, maybe, but three completely unrelated scenarios? I checked with Morgan Fairchild, she swears all three scenarios happened simultaneously when she met Sam. ---

I am starting to wonder now if the corn I observed had not been cooked? I was basing this on some corn left over from an out door meal that was left outside and dried out naturally. I am having boiled corn for lunch today so I will conduct the experiment.

Or rather a “can you perform a blood transfusion on a cow from the squeezed drippings of a rib-eye roast?” If you were the masochistic sort, I bet you could hook him with that ---

I can’t imagine any outdoor barbecue where I did not cook all the corn at once. But if Google says it can’t happen, I have to stay open to the idea it may not have been cooked. I am still not convinced so I will try it myself. ---
