    A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon.As she laid her pet on the table,the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the birds chest.After a moment or two, the vet shock his head sadly and said "I'm so sorry, your Duck Cuddles has passed away."
    The distressed owner wailed "are you sure?"
    "Yes I am 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, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador retriever.
    As the ducks owner looked on in amazement, the Labrador 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 shock his head.
    The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a cat
    The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot
    The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room
    The vet looked at the woman and said,"im 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 ducks owner still in shock took the bill. £150 she cried, "£150 just to tell me my duck is dead!!"
    The vet shrugged ,"im sorry. if you'd taken my word for it,the bill would have been £20, but with the lab report and the cat scan , its now £150
