Slappers!
A woman brought a very limp duck into a
veterinary surgeon. 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
sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed
away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you
sure?" "Yes, I am sure. The 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 the room. 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."
