A man rushes his limp dog to the veterinarian. The doctor pronounces the dog dead. The agitated man demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat. The cat sniffs the body and meows.
The vet 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 and barks.
The vet says: "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too."
The man finally resigns to the diagnosis and asks how much he owes.
The vet answers, "$650." "$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies:
"I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis.
The additional $600 is for the cat scan and lab tests."
