True but my favourite remains the golden rat one... You know... A guy goes to a second hand shop and sees this golden rat and asks to buy it. The shopkeeper says "it's �25 for the rat and �100 for it's secret". Anyway the chap decides to just pay the �25 and leaves the shop feeling contented. As he walks down the street, he sees a rat following him and thinks it a little odd. He walks a little further and there are a dozen rats behind him. Eventually he reaches a bridge by which time all the rats in the whole town are following him. He thinks "I've had enough of this - it must be that golden rat" and he throws it into the river. To his amazement, all the rats immediately leap into the river and drown. The next day he goes back to the shop and the shopkeeper greets him "Nice to see you again. I bet you've come to learn the secret". He replies "no, I've come to buy that golden banjo".
