QUOTE???????????....
TRANSLATION:
Frank, a very thrifty individual, finds himself feeling unwell for several days in a row. It's nothing major, just kind of nauseous, but since it's been going on for a while he decides he should go see a doctor. He asks around to several of his friends and combs the phone book in an effort to find the cheapest doctor in town. One of his friends says "Frank, you should go see doctor Mallard downtown, he only charges ten dollars a visit, and I hear he's quite good." Frank agrees, and walks downtown to doctor Mallard's office. When he gets there, the receptionist tells him to go right in, the doctor will be with him in a moment. So Frank goes back and sits down on a poorly constructed wooden table and waits. After some time, the doctor comes in, and tells Frank to open up his mouth and stick out his tongue. The doctor flicks a lighter and looks in Franks mouth for a minute and says, "I'm sorry sir, but you've only got a week to live... that'll be ten dollars, please pay the receptionist out front." Frank, in shock, says "How could you possible know that just by looking in my mouth with a lighter!?" The doctor looks a little miffed but agrees maybe another test is in order. He opens a back door and a cat comes running in, jumps up on the table, looks at Frank, looks at the doctor, shakes it's head slowly and walks back out. "Well Mr. Frank, it looks like the cat agrees, you've only got a week to live, try to make it a good one." Frank, doubly shocked, asks the doctor if there's any other tests he can do. The doctor then whistles sharply and a big yellow labrador retriever saunters in and jumps up on the table, sniffs Frank's crotch for a second, looks at the doctor and shakes his head as he slowly walks back out the door. "Sorry" says the doctor, "It's unanimous Frank, you're going to die in a week." At this point Frank decides it might be a good idea to get a second opinion from a more reputable doctor. He walks out to pay the receptionist. The receptionist says "That'll be $2010.00 please." Frank yells "How the hell can it cost that much, he's supposed to only charge $10.00!!! The receptionist sighs and says, "Well it's ten for a general visit, but it's a thousand for the CAT scan and another thousand for the lab work.
