Lawyer- Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse ?
Pathologist- No.
Lawyer- Did you listen to the heart ?
Pathologist – No.
Lawyer- Did you check for breathing ?
Pathologist – No.
Lawyer – So, when you signed the death certificate you weren’t actually sure he was dead, were you ?
Pathologist – Well, let me put it this way. The man’s brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I guess it’s possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.
