A defending attorney was
cross examining a coroner. The attorney asked, "Before you signed
the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?" The coroner
said, "No."
The attorney then asked, "Did you listen for a heart beat?", and
again the coroner said, "No."
Then the attorney asked, "Did you check for breathing?", and again
the coroner said, "No."
"So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any
steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?"
The coroner, now tired of the brow beating said, "Well, let me put
it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but
for all I know he could be out there practicing law
somewhere."
