Lawyer: Before you signed the death certificate, did you check 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.
