1.) Go visit someone you don't like
2.) Find their cheese grater
3.) Take said cheese grater into bathroom
4.) Scrape corn off foot with cheese grater
5.) Return cheese grater to cupboard without washing
6.)
7.) Profit

Corn futures are going up, sell it on the commodities market?

Be sure to save it when you cut it off. When we start powering gas with corn, you'll make a fortune!

buy a single blade razor...like for your face and break that ****er apart and then use that to cut the corn out. dig as deep as you can, ull probably end up with it indenting into your foot. just go until you start to feel it.

I woke up with one today, or what I think is one. Seriously, what's the cure?

Be careful cutting a corn. Make sure you clean the area well first and make sure the instrument you use to cut the corn is sterile.
Soaking the feet for a little while to soften up the corn and surrounding area can help make it easier to cut.
I suggest you try a pumice stone before resorting to cutting. Again, make sure your foot and the area around the corn are clean before you start using a pumice stone, and use gentle pressure and a circular motion.
To prevent corns, make sure your shoes fit properly. Corns are cause by continuous pressure and friction by your shoes on the area where the corn develops.
