The Vet and the Duck

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners

Here's a funny story to bring a smile to your day.

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 Duck Cuddles has passed away".


The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure??" "Yes, I am 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 its 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 from head to foot. The cat sat back on


it's 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 o 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. "$150.00!!?" she cried, "$150.00 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 $150.00.
