Parrot Joke |
A woman walks in to see the vet, and carefully places a very limp parrot on the table. The vet gets out his stethoscope and checks it out, and tells her as gently as he can that it is dead.
The woman does not believe him, hoping beyond hope that it is just ill, so the vet offers to do some more checks - she gladly accepts.
The vet disappears for a couple of minutes and comes back with a labrador
- it puts its` two front paws on the table, sniffs at the parrot, looks at the woman, and gently shakes its head.
The woman is still not convinced, and wants another opinion - so the vet disappears again and comes back with a cat.
The cat jumps up, has a good sniff around, prods the parrot with its nose, and gets no response - it looks up at the woman, miaows once and shakes its` head, then jumps down and leaves the room.
The woman is starting to accept her friend's fate now, and goes out to pay her bill.
"£150 to tell me my parrots dead ?"
The vet hears the commotion and comes out to see her - "My consultation fee was only £20, but the bill went up because of the
cat scan and the lab report..."
