Served her right .....a duck (cricket variety) !!
(an old post from my facebook account)
A woman brought a very limp duck into a vet's surgery. 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 sadly and said, 'I'm so sorry, your duck, 'Cuddles' has passed away.
The distressed owner wailed 'Are you sure ?'
Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead,' he replied.
'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, and 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 paws on the table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom.. He then looked at the Vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog, and took it out, and returned a few minutes later with a cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, mewed 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 PC, 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 just shrugged, and said 'I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the 'Lab' report and the 'Cat' scan, it's now $ 150.

'applied' maths
Three men went into a diner, and each ordered a cup of coffee.
The waitress brought the three cups of coffee and a dish with twelve lumps of sugar.
Each man took an odd number of lumps of sugar, and when they had finished, there was no sugar left.
How many lumps did each man take?
It requires only a few moments to recognize that the sum of three odd numbers must be odd itself, so there must be a trick somewhere.

"The first man took one lump, the second man took one lump, and the third man took ten lumps.
“Aha!” you will cry, “ten is not an odd number!”
And then, we slyly inquire, “Do you know anyone who takes ten lumps of sugar in his coffee?”
