A visit to the vet...
A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The
vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on
the examination table.
The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man
that his dog, regrettably, is dead.
The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second
opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts
the cat down next to the dog's body.
The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the
dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your
dog is dead too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.
The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head
to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man
and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much
he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man....
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial
diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."
