..... And one that really was from a friend (and a saw the results)
Many years ago a friend had a number of 30 liter drums of honey (the reason why is another story)
After a few years in storage the honey had gone solid
The family decided to sell the honey, but no one would buy the stuff by the drum
So the family bought a several thousand rather nice jars and had labels printed up saying homemade organic honey with some great graphics
They then started selling the honey far and wide
In order to get the honey out of the drums, (which only had a small screw top, like a bottle), what they used to do was put the drum on the gas stove, put all 4 burners on a low heat, and leave it for a couple of hours to warm through and de-solidify.
One night, unable to sleep, the master of the household decided to melt some honey.
After a couple of hours, as dawn was breaking, he looked down the hole at the top of the drum. The honey was still solid, so he got a long wooden spoon and prodded the crust of honey at the top.
BANG! 30 liters of super-heated honey exploded out of the hole, hit the ceiling, and then came down as a vapor over everything.
He was lucky, the blast had blown out the gas, and he was wearing a thick toweling dressing gown, so he only got a burnt hand, and a very burnt head, as a lump of hot honey congealed on the light and then dripped down.
The vaporized honey spread over all surfaces and went into all the draws and cupboards and over every surface within range.
The end result, once he got back from hospital, was the entire kitchen had to be ripped out, and then rebuilt including a new floor and ceiling and re plastering the walls.
