The Vet Delivers
There was a country doctor who was the only doctor for miles around. He wanted to go on a fishing trip so he called the vet and asked him to look after things while he was gone.
The vet asked:
- Is anything happening?
The doctor replied:
- Mrs. Jones is about due, but I don't think the baby will come before I get back. Anyway, if it does, just deliver it. This is her third and the first two went really easily.
The vet said:
- okay
and the doctor went on the fishing trip.
When he returned, he called the vet.
- How did things go while I was gone?
- Pretty good.
- Did Mrs. Jones have her baby?
- Yes, it was a 8 pound boy. Everyone's doing fine.
- Did you have any trouble?
- Well, there was just one little problem.
- What was that?
- I had a terrible time getting her to eat the afterbirth!
