"Outrageous Vet Bill" joke

A man, carrying a very limp dog, entered the veterinary clinic. As he lay the dog on the table, the vet took out his stethoscope and placed the receptor on the dog's chest.

The vet handed the man a bill for $650. The dog's owner went postal and screamed, "$650! Just to tell me my dog's dead! This is outrageous!"
The vet shook his head sadly and explained, "Sir, had you taken my word for it, the cost would have been $50, but with the lab work and the cat scan... "
