Watering the latest genetically engineered corn crop is a task. But, it's shuck-free.

The corn industry, in an unprecedented move, began on Thursday to offer corn shaped tombstones together with burial plots at low subsidized prices as an advertising strategy....The deal is you can have an epitaph of 3 lines engraved on the ear of corn shaped stone, but the cornstone must remain as the grave marker for eternity....

Colorful stalks are available, but at considerable extra cost....

  • Like mushrooms, the next day after Bob watered his crop, they had doubled in number.
  • Worried, Bob got his chain saw and thinned them.
  • Bob did not sleep well that night.

Said Alice to the two of spades "What are you doing?"

Said the two of spades to Alice.

The queen originally wanted yellow corn, but when it arrived she insisted tht she had said it must be white. "Orrrf with his head!" was the command from the queen.

So "We're painting the corn cobs white! We're painting the corn cobs white! ......."

Oh! said Alice and continued on her journey.

Joe, the novel cover artist, should have read Stephen King's "Children of the Corn" BEFORE he painted this new version of the book's cover.
