Zombie goldfish
At a park fair I won 2 goldfish. so far so typical. I expected them to die after a few weeks, by which time the novelty would have worn off anyway so win-win. For the next 2 years fish 1 and fish 2 continued to live. I cleaned their bowl dutifully. One day I decided that as well as a clean they needed a change of scenery so filled up the washbowl and left them in there to prance and forget continually. After a while my brother went to the kitchen for a drink, until we hear him screaming. Fish 2 had jumped out the washbowl and my brother had stood on him. PANIC, my mum picks up the fish and starts blowing air into its face and throws it into the bowl. It's dead, fish 2 the fairground fish that outlived our expectations is floating. We go away to mourn (watch tele) leaving fish 1 with his dead mate. Later on I decide it's time for fish 1 to live a life of solitude in his bowl but what's this fish 2 is moving slightly. Oh shit it's a Zombie Fish. We left it in the bowl for a few days renamed him Lazarus. That fucker outlived fish 1 (who died about a year after the event) by another 2 years. 5 Years for a fairground Zombie fish. I'm not sure if that's a win or not...

I too
I too had a zombie fish, except it turned out that my parents kept rushing out to the pet shop to replace it as they thought I'd be upset that it died. When they didn't get to replace it in time they were disappointed when I said "Oh, it's dead" and went off to play with my Action Man without a second thought.
