|  |       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.

    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.
