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."
& the lonely road awaits me... 6:42 PM.
