A woman brought her very limp duck into a veterinary office, laying the duck on the table, she asked, “Is there anything you can do?” The vet pulled out his stethoscope and after listening to the bird's chest for a moment said sadly, "I'm very sorry, your pet has passed away."

The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead, quite dead, I’m afraid,"

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

Rolling his eyes and with a sigh the vet turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. The duck's owner looked on in amazement as the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. When finished the dog looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. “Woof.”

Petting the dog on the head, they left the room. The vet then returned with a calico cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird, then sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly then strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, your duck is definitely, 100% certifiably, dead. He is literally a dead duck!”

The vet then turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys to produce his bill, then gave it to the woman.

Still in shock, she stared at the bill, "$1,500!" $1,500 just to tell me my duck is dead!"

The vet shrugged, "Well, I'm sorry for your loss, but if you had just taken my word for it in the first place, the bill would have been just $20. But you insisted on additional testing and with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $1,500."

It was a dark and stormy night and the rain was coming down in torrents when the captain said to his crew, "Let me tell you a story about a night, very much like this, dark and stormy with the rain pounding down in torrents . . . Deja Vue all over again.

It's still a dark and stormy night and the rain is still coming down in torrents. Unfortunately, the ship has sunk. No life boats in the water. Not every story has a happy ending . . .

Well keep it up
