Dr. Cutter is 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 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
overcharge summer visitors. Whatever do you do in the
winter,
when we're not being gypped here?"

"Raise porcupines, Ma'am."
