Cat Scan and Lab Tests

A man rushes into the vet's office carrying his limp dog, screaming for help.

The vet examines the dog and sadly announces, "I'm sorry, your dog has passed away." The man is devastated and demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back and returns with a cat. The cat sniffs the dog from head to tail and meows. "I'm sorry," says the vet, "but the cat agrees. Your dog is dead." Still in denial, the man demands another test. The vet brings out a Labrador Retriever. The lab sniffs the dog and barks. "The lab also thinks your dog is dead," says the vet. Resigned, the man asks for the bill. "That will be $650," says the vet. "$650 just to tell me my dog is dead?!" yells the man. "Well," the vet replies, "It would have been $50 for the initial diagnosis. The rest is for the cat scan and the lab tests."
