An oldie, maybe one for the brits... A man goes into a pet shop and decides that he wants to buy a hamster and takes it home. The hamster turns out to be not quite what he wanted so he called the pet shop and asked if he could return it. The pet shop explained their no return policy but said that he could try boiling the hamster and making jam from it. The slightly perplexed man decides to do so, it takes a while, but he makes it. On trying the jam, it was found to be bloody awful, so he threw it out of his kitchen window. He awoke the following morning to find a beautiful bunch or daffodils growing where he had thrown the jam. He decided to call the pet shop and tell them, but they told him, 'but sir you must be mistaken, everyone knows you get tulips from hamster jam'.
