I do spread butter and salt on my corn on the cob; it`s the way I was
brought up to eat it. Stephen introduced me to an easier way to butter
it that doesn`t use a knife tho. Spear the ends of the cob with those
little cob shaped skewers/holders/whatever you call them, then roll the
ear of corn over the top of a stick of butter. The heat of the corn will
melt the butter just enough to butter your corn without the mess of
doing it with a knife. Best to keep a dedicated stick of butter on hand
for this. My mom always set one stick of butter on the table for the 7
of us but two salt shakers. We were encouraged to take enough butter
(but not an excessive amount) to butter more than one ear so we didn`t
have to keep passing it around or have one person tie it up while others
were waiting to get some. She always used margerine, tried real butter
on us when she started working and could afford it but the general
consensus of the family taste was for margerine so she bought that until
the last of the kids had left home. (G)

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
