[cobra de capell]

A man opens his back door to let his dog in. The dog is lying out in the yard, stiff, legs in the air, won't respond. Man panics, puts dog in the car and speeds to the vet.

Vet examines the dog, says "There is nothing I can do. Your dog is dead."

Man says "I can't believe it, can you do some tests?"

Vet gets mean old tomcat from the back room, holds up to dog. The cat hisses, takes a swipe across the dogs nose with his claws. Dog does not respond.

Vet says "See? Your dog is dead."

Man says "Can you do another test?"

Vet gets a golden lab from the back room, which sniffs at the stiff dog, looks up with sad eyes, and gives a mournful sigh.

Man says "Well, it looks like you were right. What do I owe you?"

Vet says "$520"

Man says "$520 just to tell me my dog is dead?"

Vet says: "$20 for the office visit, $200 for the cat scan and $300 for the lab work."
