1. A man and his young son are taking a ride away from their neighborhood and the man accidently runs over a dog. He and his son exit the car and the father said, "lets leave it in the gutter--it is a stray and no one will miss it." The boy screams out,"He isn't dead--look his ear is twitching." The man saw nothing but since there was an Animal Hospital across the street, he carried the dog in. He asked the vet what the fee would be to determine if the dog is dead. "$30", was the reply. The vet looked the dog over and said it was dead. Again the boy said, "No he isn't, his eye just blinked." At that the vet said there is only one definitive test and walked to the back of the office, returning with a cat in a cage. He took the cat out and placed it on the examining table with the dog. The cat circled the dog, sniffing here and there and returned to the cage. At that point the vet said "without question the dog is dead." The man pulled out his wallet and asked the fee. "$630", replied the vet. "But you told me $30 when we came in." "Yes, that is correct, $30 for my opinion, but $600 for the CAT Scan!" 2. Re Carole Hlton and "Good Sam", I am surpised that no one mentioned that Good Sam was the place Madonna recently delivered via "C" section. from Bob Cowan <[log in to unmask]>
