What do you think of a lady smoking a corncob pipe?

Yeah, but we mean something different by it. Corn is maize to you but it's wheat to us (although, as with most things, it's both, as we change context if someone seems like they may be referencing North America or the food... the food "corn on the cob" is maize, but the crop "corn" is wheat... it's confusing now I write it, but it's not confusing to think it, we just translate automatically based on context. Until now, I never even realised I was doing it).

You can grow maize here, yeah, but usually indoors and I only know one or two people who tried. Grows better in Spain. Then again, most things do.

Heard of corncob pipes but that picture is the first one I've ever seen. If I'd just seen someone smoking it, I wouldn't know what it was. Hence the curiosity. :)
