A woman brought a very limp?!

A woman brought a very limp?

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.
As she lay 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 pet has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm 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.
He 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 with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed
the bird from its peak to its tail and back again.
The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, jumped
down 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, took 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 all
adds up."

wow... this is what keeps people like House in business!! :*)
