>A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he laid the dog
>on the table, Doctor Buck pulled out his stethoscope, placing the receptor
>on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the Doc shook his head sadly and
>said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away." "What?" screamed the man.
>"How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want
>another opinion!"
>
>With that, Doc turned and left the room. In a few moments, he returned with
>a Labrador Retriever. The Retriever went right to work, sniffing the poor
>dog on the table and checking him out thoroughly. After a considerable
>amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and went, "Woof." The
>veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a
>cat, which walked around the poor dog several times and then sadly shook his
>head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.
>
>The veterinarian said, "There's nothing more I can do." He handed the man a
>bill for $600. The dog's owner went postal. "Six hundred dollars?!?! Just to
>tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!" Doc shook his head sadly and
>explained, "If you had taken my word for it, the cost would have been $50,
>but with the Lab work and the cat scan..."
