Roger was heartbroken when his favorite dog, Sam, went belly up. He rushed him to the vet, saying, “Do whatever you can for Sam, never mind the cost!”
“Sorry, Roger, but this dog is dead.” replied the vet, after a glance at the animal.
“Sam just can’t be dead.” insisted Roger. “Do something!”
The vet called for Tabby, his big yellow tomcat. Tabby poked Sam in the tail, then in the belly, and finally hissed in his ear. Nada. Roger was forced to accept the sad news.
On the way out, Roger was shocked to receive a bill for $625. “What is this for?” he exclaimed.
“Well that is $25 for the visit…” said the vet “…. And $600 for the catscan.”
