Death Certificate

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.
