Joke 30

23 Apr

A man runs into the vet’s office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead.

The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.  The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog’s body. The cat sniffs the body, and walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog’s body.  He finally looks at the vet and meows.

The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead too.” The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.

The vet brings in a black labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks.

The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too.”

The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes.  The vet answers, “$650.”

“$650 to tell me my dog is dead?” exclaimed the man.

“Well,” the vet replies, “I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests.”

    Haha, pretty funny!
    Hmm, nothing for Earth Day? I was expecting hilarious jokes…

      It never occurred to me. Earth Day has been a non-event here. But thanks for the tip – customers like themed jokes :)

    I love that one. If only I could get a couple more animals to save on my vet bills…

      …thus incurring more vet bills :)

    my vet seems as costly as my doctor, but the hospitalisation does cost a bit less

    Reminds me – of course – of a favorite cartoon: Cave man is lying on a stone table. Two other cave men, one on each side of the table, are holding a cat, stretched out, and moving the cat back and forth over the man on the table. The caption is: “Early Cat Scans.”

    Great joke – heard it before, but a great joke! I’m posting my own lab joke today as my Saturday “I’m too busy to come up with anything else” post.

      I haven’t heard that one! Funny :D

    Groooooaaaannn… this was funny, Linda. Reminds me of the one about the folks going on vacation and… oh, never mind. Besides, my cat just died, but I’m telling you, humor saves you every time. We loved Gable and he will remain around (like his fore-sisters Missy and Sister) because of all the stories we tell.

    This was a classic. Can’t wait to hear your version of “The Aristocrats,” ha ha ha. Amy

      So sorry about your cat. It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet.

      You have to finish the joke!

        I retold that lab test joke this morning to the other grandad – he thought it a good one.

          Excellent – sharing the laughter.
