> A Bit Of Bad DUCK !!!
>
> A woman brought a very limp duck into a vet. 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 sadly and
> said,
>
> "I'm so sorry, your duck has passed away."
>
>
> The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?"
> "Yes, I'm quite
> sure. The duck is dead," he 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 and returned 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 cat. The cat jumped up 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!", she cried.
>
> "£150 just to tell me my duck is dead?"
>
> The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry." "If
> you'd taken my word for it,
> the bill would have been £20, but with the Lab Report
> and the Cat Scan, it's
> now £150.
