Addendum to 35: If cheating ex-partners are involved all the better.

37: Nobody in the gutter may be called "odd". If you think you may be odd, keep it to yourself; we don't want to know.

38. Picking on PSD when he is in the gutter, and talking about him behind his back when he is not in the gutter are mandatory.

39: Gutter members should be aware, however, that picking on PSD only leads to him kicking back. It's a bit like parading in front of a great white shark in a seal suit singing 'Oh I'm a tasty crippled seal covered in chocolate and in a handy bite-sized package'.

40: In the (admittedly) unlikely event of a great white shark entering the gutter, seal-suited members are permitted to sing the above song, subject to the neccessary safety precautions. Anyone observing that this does not appear to be a Sesame Street song is referred to the black market edition of 'Ernie does Dallas'...

*grabs Klinsmann before he can catch duck and fill gutter with feathers*

You really did it, you know, banning cats from the gutter. That little ginger psychopath is absolutely determined to be there now!

41. Ducks are no longer allowed in the gutter as they encourage stray cats to chase them.

42. Biting is not now, nor has it ever been allowed on the gutter. Kicking, punching, and slappiing are the only accepted forms of physical abuse allowed. All other forms of abuse must be limited to that of the verbal persuasion.

Klinsmann says he's not a stray.

I say he strayed into the gutter, therefore for the purposes of this discussion he is.

Klinsmann says @!*%?!!

Minsky says Klinsmann hasn't got the morals of a stray.

Klinsmann says that's not very nice.

Minsky says, oh, all right, then, Klinsmann has got the morals of a stray.

Klinsmann says that's better.

44. Pants are optional. Hats are not.

The reason for the cats is they make me sneeze and it's not a pretty sight.

Is it just feathery ducks that aren't allowed? Only I believe there's a nice collection of rubber duckies around.

Oh, and dodos are mandatory, surely?

Somehow I just knew me and my rubber ducks would eventually earn themselves a namecheck in a thread with the word "gutter" in the title...

45. Any animal mentioned in the title of an approved Sesame Street songs is expected to attend the meetings in the gutter.

46. The approved Sesame Street songs are

1) Rubber Duckie
2) How would you like to buy an O?
3) Let's Do It
Any other songs must be submitted to Song Approval in triplicate.
