Buried in this BBC News article lamenting the banning of traditional haggis in the US is this money quote:

A 2003 survey suggested that a third of US visitors to Scotland believed the haggis was an animal. Nearly a quarter thought they could catch one.

I can see it now--Catching the Haggis, the newest event in the Highland Games. :-D

The wild haggis notoriously has the legs on one side shorter than the legs on the other, so that they can run around steep Scottish mountains and maintain an even keel.

Fortunately compassionate souls have banded together to craft tiny stilts for the shorter legs, so they can be safely relocated to the lowlands.
