She lay her pet on the table
and the vet pulled out his stethoscope and
listened to the bird's chest. After a moment
or two the vet shook his head sadly and said,
"I'm so sorry, Cuddles has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure, the duck is dead," the vet replied.
"How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean,
you haven't done any testing on him or anything.
He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the
room, returning a few moments later with a black
Labrador retriever.
As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the
dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top
to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes
and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and
took it out, and returned a few moments later with
a beautiful cat.
The cat jumped on the table and also sniffed
delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its
haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled
out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry,
but as I said, this is most definitely 100% certifiably,
a dead duck."
Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit
a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to
the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took
the bill....
"$150.00" she cried, "$150.00 just to tell me my
duck is dead?"
The vet shrugged.
"I'm sorry. If you'd have taken my word for it,
the bill would have been only $20.00, but with the
Lab Report and the Cat Scan, the prices go way up!!!!!!!!!" [sm=speechless-smiley-040.gif]
