A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery. As she lay 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 pet has passed away most likely bird flu." The distressed owner
wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm 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.
He 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
beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed the bird
from its beak to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches,
shook its head, meowed softly, jumped down 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. £300!" she
cried. "£300 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 £50,. But
what, with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it all adds up.!!!!!
