Laugh Your Tails Off

This joke is courtesy of co-owner of Sparky's, Russ Erickson.


A old country man went out for breakfast with his friends every morning. Each time he came back from breakfast, his hound dog always went crazy with excitement, jumping up and down, barking, and howling. One morning when he returned, his dog was just laying there. He knudged him, exclaiming his arrival. His dog just wouldn't get up. He decided he should take him to the vet. When he got there, he told the Dr. his situation, and asked him to figure out what was wrong. After a series of tests, the Dr. said, "I'm sorry, Sir, but your dog is dead." The old country man was in despair. "Oh no, Doc, that can't be! My dog's my best friend! Can't you do anything else? Check again!" And so he did. "Sir, I'm sure. Your dog is dead." The man was beside himself. "No, no, no. This can't be happening. Is there anything else you can do?" The vet said, there is one more thing. He left the room and returned with a cat. He set the cat down on the table, and it circled the dog a few times. The Dr. said, "I'm absolutely sure, Sir. I'm sorry. The Receptionist will settle your bill with you on the way out." The man was in shock. "Settle the bill? But my dog is dead. How much is the bill?" The Dr. explained "Well, Sir, it's $225." The man about had a heart attack. "$225?! For what?!" He shouted. The Dr said "It was $25 for the office exam, and $200 for the cat scan."

Hahahahahahaah. No actual dogs were harmed during this joke. :D
