My son broke his foot again, and a friend of mine recommended these $80
basketball shoes.

Frankly, the co-pay to the ER is cheaper.

2. Actually, I'm looking into having him put to sleep at Dr. Bill's
Pet Infirmary. He'll do it for free.

3. Damn. It once cost me $30 to get a parakeet put to sleep.
I need to switch vets.

5. True story. *Warning: Not for the black humor impaired*
In May, my friend had to put one of her cats to sleep. So we were discussing it on the phone, I was commiserating about how she would tell her little boy and I asked how much it cost.

She replied: Dr. Bill does it for free.

Me: Maybe I should take Grandpa (my FIL) down and have Dr. Bill put him to sleep. Yuk. Yuk. (Well known that Grandpa was a bit of a PITA)


Little did I know that the poor old guy was already dead in his bedroom at the exact moments I spoke those words.

Gah.
