Lady runs into vet's office with very limp duck in her arms. "Help!!! Something's wrong with Cuddles!!"

Vet takes a look, tells her, "Lady, Cuddles is dead."

Lday, crying:"Are you sure?"

Vet whips out stethoscope, listens to duck: "I'm sorry, lady, Cuddles is dead>"

Now hysterical lady:"But, are you positive?!?"

Vet whistles; in come big black dog, Siamese. Both animals sniff the duck, shake their heads, leave the room.

Vet says:"Lady, I'm sorry. Cuddles is dead. That will be $300, please."

"$300?!!!!! to tell me my duck is dead?!?"

"Well, you did insist on lab work and a cat scan...."
