Pathologist vs. Lawyer


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 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.
