If you giy's have never tried it cook it in the microwave, cut the back end off the cob take off a few husks then cook for 3-4 minutes depending on how many cobs you are cooking, when you take it out grab the front end and squeeze and pull the shuck at the same time, it will pull the husks and all the silk off the cob, it tastes way better than boiling it plus no silk to pick off..
