It Really Happened... in a courtroom

I have several friends who are experienced and quite exceptional in their chosen vocations. Some are attorneys. I have always walked lightly when it comes to attorney humor but found that, among my friends, they can easily laugh at their own expense. Here’s one that ranks at the top and it actually took place during trial between an attorney and a witness.

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?

A: No.

Q: Did you check for blood pressure?

A: No.

Q: Did you check for breathing?

A: No.

Q: So then, it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

A: No.

Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?

A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

From the Vancouver Sun, “There Ought to be a Law.”
