@Dr.Winston_OBoogie gets there first with the obvious reference. I’m disappointed none of you made mention of the common clay of the New West. **Knowed\_Out** gets an honorable mention. ---

Nope. Sometimes, you just have to find something funny about a mundane thing like clay. So far (not to give things away), I like the Wallace and Gromit reference; I’m not sure if knoodler is making a Mr. Bill reference or… and now I’m thinking Slithy\_Tove is onto something here… You could respond with something like “Hey! That’s my uncle there!” ---
