When you shop for corn on the cob, do you pull down the husk before you
buy it to look inside?

Not all the way down, since we like to grill it in the husk. But
enough to see the first few kernels.

I also examine the silk. If it's dried up, it's been too long since
the corn was picked.

Do you ever reject corn because it doesn't look good?

Of course.

What does "not look good" mean? Why would you reject an ear of corn?

Flabby kernels. The thumbnail trick works. Shriveled kernels. Insect
damage.
