In a murder trial, the defence lawyer was cross-examining the coroner:
Lawyer: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse?
Coroner: No.
Lawyer: Did you listen to the heart?
Coroner: No.
Lawyer: Did you check for breathing?
Coroner: No.
Lawyer: So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren’t sure the man was dead, were you?
Coroner: Well, let me put it this way. The mans brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I guess its possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.
