Bubbling With Anxiety

A distraught dog owner called a vet pleading for an immediate
appointment. He explained that his dog had a large growth or swelling
near the corner of its mouth that had appeared to grow overnight, so the
vet told him to bring the animal over.

When the man came in with his dog, the vet examined the animal as the
man stood by, anxiously waiting the vet's opinion. At last the doctor
turned to him and asked, "Do you have any children?"

"Oh my gosh, is it contagious?" the man gasped.

"No," the vet answered. "It's bubble gum."
