| What happens if you bust a "bad" ball on a tee shot? Does it blow
off your leg?

For medical reasons... that's a good one. Help, I've accidentally
swallowed a golf ball, whats it made of?
Actually, I believe it's filled with a gas under pressure, don't know
what kind though.

| When I was a kid we used to get old golf balls and take the outer skin off 'em.
Underneath that skin was about 10 miles of very thin rubber-band like stuff.
(This was usually attached to a car or bicycle just for fun.)
Underneath *that* was beige or black core about the same diameter as a quarter.
That core would bounce like hell - reminds me of a Superball (tm) if you
remember them. You could bounce one of them suckers over a whole house!
Anyway, I don't know what is in the middle, but we're close! :^{)

The liquid in the center of a golf ball is the sweat from a heiffer on
drugs.

DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY
If taken internally, quickly put on a diaper, a cowboy hat, your wife's
high heels and walk quickly but carefully to your nearest veterinarian.

| RE .3
I thought every kid growing up in America had to try an take everything
apart, golf balls included. It was one of the constant challenges of
growing up.
A buddy of mine and I were taking a golf ball apart in shop class in
grade school. When we got to the rubber ball benith all the rubber
bands, we had to find out what was inside. I suggested to cut it open
and a shop class offered lots of ways to do that. We put it in a vise
and I let my friend take it from there. He took a hammer and chisel to
it and much to our surprise it was filled with liquid that squirted out
all over the place.
I was glad I let my friend do the damage because the liquid had some
kind of acidic nature to it. He got a little bit in his eyes and the
shop teacher and I ran him down to the showers to flush out the eyes.
He was not in real pain and was fine after a few minutes, it just
burned a bit. As I remember it slightly irritated my skin.
I can't believe none of the rest of you did anything stupid like this
when you were a kid!!! %^)

I did lots of stupid things as a kid.
I do lots of stupid things as an adult.
I resemble that remark! 8^)

| Hello and thanks to all those that responded. The correct answer is
water and corn starch.
In response to what type of class this was for: It was the Sixth grade
class in Hudson, MA. Apparently cable channel 61 has a contest for
students of various schools on their show called the "Sports Plan".
The first school that calls in with the correct answer wins a prize.
The prize is usually something like a T-Shirt or baseball cap.
Thanks Again
Frank
My son's school was not the first one to call in with the correct
answer.
