A Man with a Pet Duck .....

[greg somers]

Wakes up one morning to find his duck just lying in it's basket not moving. He taps it and it is all stiff. So he rushes it into the local vet, who puts the duck on the examination table. He pokes and prods it and takes it's temperature.
Turning to the man he says, " Sorry, your duck is dead."
"What?, I want a second opinion!" said the ducks owner.
"Sure." says the vet, who whistles through to the next room. In walks this black labrador retreiver. The vet points to the duck and the dog places his front paws on the examination table and sniffs closely at the duck. Then he shakes his head sadly and leaves the room.
"There you go", said the vet. "Dead".
"I'm not taking the word of a dog. I want another opinion!", said the man.
The vet then calls out into the other room and in pads this tabby cat. The vet points to the duck and the cat leaps up onto the exam table and sniffs and pats the duck. It then shakes it's head and leaves the room.
The vet say,"There you go. That's 3 opinions. the duck is dead".
The owner finally accedes to the obvious.
" Ok, how much do I owe you?"
" That'll be $150 dollars, Thank you", says the vet.
"$150? You rate on the board is only $50 a consultation",the man exclaims.
"That's all it would have been, but you insisted on the 'lab report' and the 'cat scan'.

Cheers all ears,

I have heard the "Cat Scan" portion previously, but the "Lab Report" is a nice addition. Thanks!

PS: I work for a company that makes devices similar to a "Cat Scanner" and in fact, I worked on a real CT this morning!
