Clever Doc
Dr. Cutter was the local veterinarian, known for his wry humor. He surpassed himself one summer day when a city dog was brought to him after an encounter with a porcupine.
After prying, pulling, cutting and stitching, he returned the dog to its owner who asked what she owed.
“Eighty-five dollars, Ma’am,” he answered.
“Why that’s simply outrageous!” she stormed. “That’s what’s wrong with you Maine people. You’re always trying to over-charge summer visitors. Whatever do you do in the winter when we’re not being gypped here?!”
“I raise porcupines, Ma’am.”
