The stable boss went out to do her morning rounds and found a horse laying very still in its box stall.

Fearing the worst, she immediately called the vet. The vet felt for a pulse. Sadly, he shook his head and informed the stable boss that the horse was dead.

The stable boss could not believe this and told the vet that she wanted a second opinion.

The vet shrugged, went back to his car, and soon returned with a cat. The cat hissed at the horse and clawed at its legs, with no response.

Still not satisfied, the stable boss said she wanted a third opinion.

Impatiently, the vet went and got his Labrador retriever and let it loose around the horse. The dog barked and jumped around, to which there was absolutely no response.

Finally, the stable boss had to admit that indeed the horse was dead, so the vet presented her with a bill for $1200.

The stable boss went wild. "You were only here for 15 minutes! Are you crazy?!" she shrieked.


"Look," the vet replied, "My time is only worth $100, but the CAT scan and the LAB report each cost $550.00!"
