> 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

>  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 what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it
>  all adds up."
