A man carries his dog into the vet's office and says, "Doctor, you have to help me. My dog's not well." The vet lays the dog down and an examination table and puts a stethoscope to the dog's chest. He sighs as he straightens up and says, "Im sorry, sir, but your dog is dead."
"That can't be," says the man, completely distraught. "I want a second opinion."
"Okay," shrugs the vet. He leaves the room only to return with a large tabby cat, which he sets down next to the dog on the examining table. The cat carefully sniffs the dog head to tail and the meows at the vet. The vet says, "The cat has confirmed it. The dog is dead."
"No, says the man, desperate in his grief. You are both wrong."
"Okay," says the vet, and he goes out again, returning with a black Labrador retriever. The lab puts his forepaws up on the examining table and nudges the dog with his nose several times, but the dog doesn't budge. Then the lab barks at the vet.
Same diagnosis, I'm afraid," says the vet. Sobbing, the man says, "Okay, okay, I believe you. What do I owe you?
"That'll be $550," says the vet.
"What? Says the man. "Thats outrageous. Why so much?"
"Well, look," says the vet, "its $50 for my diagnosis. Then it's $250 for the cat scan and $250 for the lab test."

Yeah yeah it's not that funny. I got it from a calculus book I'm reading.. which is probably why it's so funny to me.
