[Jack, a long-time Grif.Net aficionado from Maine, relates this true story]
Dr. Cutter is our local Veterinarian, and well-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 almost an hour of prying, pulling, cutting and stitching, he returned
the dog to its owner, who asked what she owed.
“Thirty 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 tourists and summer
visitors. Whatever do you do in the winter, when we’re not being gypped
here?”
“Raise porcupines, Ma’am.”
