As she laid her >>pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the >>bird's chest. >> >>After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, >>your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." >> >>The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" >> >>"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.. >> >>"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 theroom. He returned a few >>minutes 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 up >>at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the >>head and took it out of the room. >> >>A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and >>also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. 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." >> >>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!" >>she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!" >> >>The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill >>would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now >>$150." >> >> >>You know the drill ... if you're smiling, you must pass it on, give someone >>else a smile too!
