In a state of insanity :)
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 so sorry, your Duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed
owner *wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm quite sure. The duck is dead," he
replied.
*
*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 and returned a few
*moments 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 *at* the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog
and*took it out, and returned a few moments later with a cat.. The cat
*jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. 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."
*
*Then 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,
*looked at the bill. "$150!", she cried. $150 just to tell me my duck is dead?"

*The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry." "If you'd taken my word for it, the bill
*would have been $20, but* with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan It's now
*$150.
