    I have to say it ... gutta-percha is what I do after I've been fishing.

    Did you hear about the two parrots that were sitting on a perch? One turned to the other and said, 'Can you smell fish?'

    It used to be used for the middle bit of golf balls. The earliest ones were stuffed with feathers, and then they went on to use gutta-percha - and they got the nickname 'gutties' from that. No idea what they use now.

    McGruff, you should be strung up by the hooks for that one.

    Knee-capped even, what with that husky Sicilian voice too.

    Well, we can't stop there...after peasy's knee-capping, I vote we draw and quarter.
