[[AnimatedActor Gumby himself]] said he never touched the stuff (but Pokey probably did).

When the wand goes crazy and accidentally knocks Mrs. Gumba's good pitcher off the stand, Pokey calmly says "Look out" right before it smashes to the ground. Only afterward does Pokey actually show any concern...
