Russian Hamster

RUSSIAN HAMSTER (Magnus)
------------------------

When he was about 6, my little brother had this russian hamster. Now they
are like regular hamsters, except they are much, much smaller, and they
usually only live for about 3 months. This is a pet that really is 'just
for christmas'. So my bro gets an awesome cage and a wheel for little
Hammy, and loves him to bits. Now the thing is, modern pet medical science
has advanced in the last few years, and these hamsters are living to be
longer than they would otherwise... Hammy ended up living for like, nearly 2
years! Unfortunately even though he was reasonably healthy, his body wasn't
designed to live so long, so he got cancer... we kept taking him to the vet,
who asked the same old questions, did Hammy seem happy, was he eating ok?
and so the vet didn't put him down. The tumour got bigger and bigger, but
Hammy was happy as ever. Eventually this little hamster is dragging around
a tumour that's as big as he is! The vet only agreed to put him down when
he was staggering around the cage and unable to fit down the tunnels.

Telling this story to girls proves that they are actually evil, because they
usually end up laughing uncontrollably by the end.
