One day an old feller (about halfway between middle and old age) was
leaving his house when he noticed his old hound dog lying next to the
driveway looking kind of strange.  He got back out of his car and went
over to the dog and tried to see if the dog was dead or just his usual
hound-dog self which was totally lazy.   After trying for some time to
see if the dog was dead, he finally gave up and called the veterinarian.

The vet came and checked the dog from head to tail and because of the old
dogs reputation as a lazy dog, also couldn't tell if the dog was alive or
dead.  He finally asked the owner if there was anything that really set
the dog off, made him "come alive".   Yep, the old feller said, "If
there is a cat anywhere within a block, that sets his paws and jaws to
spinning."   The vet said, "I'll be right back."

The vet came back in a little while with an old tomcat.  He first held
the cat in front of the hound dogs nose, then rubbed the cat against it.
 Finally he held the cat and moved it all over the dog and still nothing.
   He told the owner, "I'm sorry, sir, but your dog is dead".

At this the owner said, "Well, he was old and it could be expected.  What
do I owe you?"

The veterinarian replied, "$625!"      

_SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!_  The old fellar shouted.  What on
earth for?

"Well", the vet replied, "my standard house call is $25 and every body
knows the price of a *CATSCAN* is $600.
