she stumbles in disbelief, shaking her head. "no...no i can't accept that. I need a second opinion!" so the vet sighs and whistles. His pet labrador runs in, jumps up to the table, sniffs the duck and shakes it head.
"you see?" says the vet.
"no...no i still can't accept it. Another opinion, and then i'll believe you."

so the vet sighs once more and clicks his tongue. A small cat runs in from the other room and jumps onto the table. It looks the duck up and down, turns to the woman and shakes its head.

"okay...okay, i accept it. My duck is dead," she sniffs. "how much do i owe you?"
"£150" replies the vet.
Absolutely appalled, the woman - aghast - begins to complain.

"well," replies the vet, "i was only going to charge 10, but then you made me go and get the lab report and a cat scan!"

boo hisss
