Overheard at lunch

File under - You had to be there to appreciate it.

Jennifer (spunky colleague) :
"My cat had some eating problems too, and every time I take him to the vet they can't find anything wrong, and I'm out $400."

Prasantha (noted wisecraker):
"Next time, don't take him to the vet. Just bring him to me and I'll only charge you $300 to tell you nothing's wrong."

Helen (ever pragmatic):
"What are you saying - that you're like a 'Cat Whisperer'? That you can read its mind? I can't stand those type of shows...they are so hokey. They're totally fake."

Me (opportunistic teaser):
"Huh? What about that show you always watch -- The Dog Whisperer?"

Helen:
"Oh that's different...that's real."
