Laughter is the best medicine…

An older fella was talking to his neighbor telling him about the new hearing aid he just got. “It cost a fortune, but it was well worth it. It works perfectly.”

“Really,” said the neighbor. “What kind is it?”

“Ten thirty.”

Laughter is the best medicine…

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry..., your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

The distressed woman wailed, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet.

“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most

definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.” The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!" The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.”

Laughter is the best medicine…

A woman in her 70s was driving with a friend. She went through a red light. The friend didn’t say anything. But then she went through another one. The friend said, “Do you realize you just went through two red lights?”

“Oh,” she said, “was I driving?"

Laughter is the best medicine…

An elderly woman was telling her daughter about a date with a 90-year-old man. “Believe it or not, I had to slap his face three times!” said the woman. “Do you mean that old man got fresh with you?” the daughter asked in disgust. “Oh, no!” her mother explained, “I had to keep slapping his face to keep him awake!”
