The title was fraudulent, it was intended to trick others into reading that
purile crap. I twice asked nicely, explained my situation, now I'm being
attacked and ridiculed over the misfortune of my wife. What is wrong with
you people? Where is the apology? Any decency? Would you be proud of your
children if they behaved that way? The ISP's and the ASA Association will
agree with me.

A woman who owns a boat (sailing related)brought a very limp Cocker Spaniel
to the veterinarian.* As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the dog's chest.* After a moment or two, the vet
shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, your pet has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure.* The dog is dead," he replied.

"How can you be so sure", she protested.* "I mean, you haven't done any
testing on him or anything.* He might just be in a coma or something."

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room.* He returned a few
moments later with a black Labrador Retriever.* As the dog's owner looked on
in amazement, the Labrador stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the
examination table and sniffed the dead Cocker from top to bottom.* He then
looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet petted the Labrador Retriever, took him out of the room, and returned
a few moments later with a beautiful cat.* The cat jumped up on the table and
also sniffed the limp Cocker from head to tail and back again. The cat sat
back on its haunches, shook his head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled
out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, your dog is
most definitely, 100% certifiably, dead."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys, and produced a
bill, which he handed to the woman. The dog's owner, still in shock, took the
bill.* "$250!" she cried. "$250 just to tell me my dog is dead?!!"

(OK, now the punch line)

The vet shrugged.* "I'm sorry.* If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would
have been $20.* But with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it all adds up."
