The duck is dead,&#8221; he replied. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">&#8220;How can&nbsp; you be so sure,&#8221; she protested. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">&#8220;I mean,&nbsp; you haven&#8217;t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a&nbsp; coma or something.&#8221; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The vet rolled his eyes,&nbsp; turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a&nbsp; black Labrador retriever. As the duck&#8217;s owner looked on in amazement,&nbsp; the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination&nbsp; table and sniffed the duck from top to&nbsp; bottom. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">He then looked at the vet&nbsp; with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it&nbsp; out, and returned a few moments later with a cat. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The cat jumped up on the&nbsp; table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot. The cat&nbsp; sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out&nbsp; of the room. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The vet looked at the woman&nbsp; and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100%&nbsp; certifiably, a dead duck.&#8221; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">Then the vet turned to his&nbsp; computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed&nbsp; to the woman. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The duck&#8217;s owner, still in shock, took the bill.&#8221;$150!&#8221; she cried, &#8220;$150 just to&nbsp; tell me my duck is dead?!!&#8221; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The vet&nbsp; shrugged. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. If you&#8217;d taken my word for it, the bill would have&nbsp; been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it&#8217;s now&nbsp; $150.00.&#8221; <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#df0000\" size=\"7\">And . . .<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#4e2c5f\"><strong><\/strong><\/font>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#4e2c5f\" size=\"4\">&#8220;THE BLOND AND THE COW&#8221; <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">A blond city girl named Amy marries a Colorado rancher. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy: <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">&#8216;The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow&#8217;s stall is in the barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?&#8217; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The rancher leaves for the fields. After awhile, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, &#8216;This is the one right here.&#8217; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The man, assuming he is dealing with an air head blond, asks, &#8216;Tell me lady, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m dying to know; how would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?&#8217; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">&#8216;That&#8217;s simple,&#8221; she said. &#8220;By the nail that&#8217;s over its stall,&#8217; she explains very confidently. <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\"><\/font><font color=\"#590170\"><strong>Laughing rudely at her, the man says, &#8216;And what, pray tell, is the nail for?<\/strong> <\/font> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">The blond turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">&#8216;I guess it&#8217;s to hang your pants on.&#8217; <\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#590170\" size=\"3\">( It&#8217;s nice to see a blond winning once in awhile.) <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#df0000\" size=\"4\">Now I warned you I had a very odd sense of humor&#8211;not my fault, but the fault of all my daffy friends who keep sending this stuff to me! <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#df0000\" size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman brought a&nbsp; very limp duck into a veterinary&nbsp; surgeon.&nbsp; As she&nbsp; laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and&nbsp; listened to the bird&#8217;s chest.
