Dead Duck This fella takes his duck to the vet, plonks it onto the table and askes the
vet what is wrong with it. The vet pokes and prods the duck and exclaims
"It's dead".
"What do you mean it's dead, it can't be dead", the fella says, puzzled.
"Yep, dead" says the vet. The fella is getting a bit upset. "Ok," says the
vet, "we will make sure" as he calls over a labrador, the dog sniffs and
licks the duck, looks at the vet and shakes his head.
"But he can't be dead" says the fella.
With this the vet calls over a cat who just happened wandering past. The cat
jumps up on the table, gives the duck a nibble and a lick and the she too
shakes his head.
"There you go, the duck is dead", says the vet. The fella is rather
distrught by this time and is convinced that the duck is indead dead.
The vet goes away and comes back with a piece of paper and hands it to the
fella.
"A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS" the fella yells with amazement. "I bring me
duck in and you tell me its dead and you want to charge me $180."
"Well, it was hard to convince you, so I got a second opinion."
"But $180..." says the fella.
"Well" says the vet, " $40 for me to tell you that the duck was dead, it was
$70 each for the Lab test and the Cat scan.
