just how tough is corn?
The evening meal included corn. We were on a game fishing boat and moored overnight in a sheltered part of the Great Barrier Reef. This was a long time ago, before boats were required to store 'waste' on board and bring it back to shore, so what went down the toilet simply found its way out into the ocean.
The next morning, while everyone's still waking up, I got out the fly rod and started catching a few reef fish. A couple of the others came down to watch the fun as I tussled with a small cod. Brought it onto deck where it performed the natural 'gag' reflex and vomited it's last meal onto the deck between the three of us.
You guessed it - corn! Quite a bit of it. It's already been through one of us, floated around a bit, been eaten and then regurgitated by a fish and yet it still looked fine. We were tempted to gather it up and mix it into the baked beans for breakfast!

Corn is indeed as tough as the Americas
During a friend's colonoscopy, the resident (junior doc) whispered, "Is that a ... polyp?" The attending (senior doc) turned and dripping with scorn said "No, it's ...corn."
