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.”$1,500!” she cried, “$1,500 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 $1,500.”

Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?
Robin Williams

This is believable and will make you smile. In case you are having a rough day, here’s a stress management technique that has been recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.

 Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out
over a crystal clear stream.

 Both your hands are in the cool running water.

 Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.

 No one knows your secret place.

 You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the World.

 The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a
cascade of serenity.

 The water is so clear you can make out the face of the Democrat
you are holding underwater.

See, it worked.

You’re smiling.

You’re feeling better already.

The Glass Ceiling Editor:   What happened to the Women’s Movement, LL ?

The Smart Cat:   I guess after the last bra was burned, and Stiletto Heels were reserved for Board Meetings the women thought they won.  Actually the Women’s Rights Movement ended when the National Organization of Women ( NOW ) let Bill Clinton go unpunished.

TGCE:   Didn’t the newly elected women in Congress help the cause, TSC ?

TSC:   The new Congresswomen took their Insider-Trading options, fact finding trips to Paris, and employed as many family members, as possible, while the campaign donations lasted.

I guess today’s women under 50 years old were taught by woke schools.   The Democrat Party took in many and showed them how to sexually experiment on children, support Hamas killers, raise child criminals, support illegal invaders, and hate/kill Jews.   I almost forgot, daughters forced to undress in front of men and compete against them.
