In Cecil's recent column on WW2 scrap drives, at http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020531.html, he writes:
Rubber's complex chemistry and the variety of formulations in use made recycling slow and expensive and the resultant material inferior to virgin rubber.
Huh huh, you said "virgin rubber"! Huh huh, huh huh!

I thought it was about that shop-worn little foil packet in the wallets of so many 17 year old would-be studmuffins. :p
