I found this while surfing a local golf site. Interesting...

"GOLF GLOVES WITH FISH SKIN LEATHER - Fish skin inserts on the fingers and palms has been incorporated with soft kid leather by Mann & Associates of Regina, Saskatchewan, to make the ultimate all-weather, long-wearing golf glove.

"It's the newest and most exciting change in the golf glove industry in over 40 years, according to Frazer Mann who has been developing the product for four years. This is the first year the gloves - along with watch bands and reversible belts made with fish skin -have been available to pro shops and retailers in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

"Fish skin is the second strongest leather know to man next to elephant skin, said Mann."For example, three strips of salmon, a half an inch wide and braided together, can pull an automobile." It's durable and provides a superior grip, it's impervious to oils in the human hand and best performing under wet conditions - and certainly not smelly, he says.

The company sends it's leather to China where the All Weather / All Sport Pro Gloves are manufactured. The tanned fish skin leather actually resembles eel skin in appearance and can be dyed in a myraid of colours including blackpearl, dolphin grey, coral, and sea urchin. More than 20 non-endangered species are used for the gloves although the exact fish or the origins are considered a secret. The gloves are also claimed to provide an average three to four times more wearings than ordinary golf clubs. Gloves are provided in a full or ruffle finish, the latter of which can be dry-cleaned. In order to preserve the condition of the glove, it's sold in a resealable plastic pouch.

Adam and Eve had just finished making love for the first time, and Adam stepped out for a quick pee, when all of a sudden God stood before him.

"How's it goin', Adam?", says God.

"Fine" says Adam, with a little grin.

"Where's Eve?" God asks.

Adam replies "Oh, she just walked down to the river to take a little bath."

"Oh, NO!" God exclaims. "Now the fish will smell like that forever!"
