A magician went to the vet and told him that his rabbit did not look well.
The vet said that he would examine it, so the magician produced the rabbit from
his empty top hat, and placed it onto the table. The vet examined the
rabbit and then said "Your rabbit is dead !" The magician was shocked and
replied "It can't be, it was running about the hutch this morning. I want a
second opinion !"
The vet went to the door and whistled to his dog. A large labrador ran into the
room and the vet told him to jump up onto the table. The dog did as commanded,
saw the rabbit lying there, took one sniff at it and promptly jumped back down
to the floor and lay down.
The vet said "There you are, if the rabbit was alive, the dog would be chasing
it all round the room, it is dead !"
The magician still refused to believe the vet and demanded a third opinion, so
the vet then went to a back room and returned carrying a ginger tabby cat in his
arms. He placed the cat on the table beside the rabbit. The cat took one look at
the rabbit and immediately curled up and went to sleep !
The vet said "That confirms it, Had your rabbit been alive, my cat would have
fought with it and ripped it apart with his sharp claws. It is definitely dead
!"
The magician answered "OK, I believe you now,
how much do I owe you ?"
The vet replied "$325"
The shocked magician asked why it was so expensive and the vet replied,
"Well, had you taken my first opinion, it would only have cost you $25, but now
you also will have to pay for the lab report and the cat scan !"
I said, "Could you
hire a magician like me?"
She said, "Yes, if he isn't too much like you."
Harry Potter walks
into a bar. His pet Rat Scabbers jumps up on the bar, lights up a smelly cigar
and blows the smoke into everyone's face. This goes on all night. Cigar after
cigar, smelly smoke in the patron's faces. The bartender complains, and
asks Harry to get him to stop, Harry replies "What do you expect me to do? Pull
a habit out of a rat ?"
A
groaner of a pun! Beware however: Never tell that joke in public as written -
and never perform a "Harry Potter" show without better knowledge of the books.
Harry Potter does NOT have a pet rat named Scabbers - Scabbers belongs to
Harry's friend Ron Weasley ! Potter fans DO know the difference!
