Lawyer: Sir, before performing the autopsy, did you check for the heartbeat?
Witness: No.
L: Did you check for blood pressure, then?
W: No.
L: Breathing?
W: No.
L: So it is possible that the patient had been alive when you started autopsy, is it?
W: No.
L: How can you be sure?
W: Because his brain was in a jar over my desk.
L: Is it nevertheless possible that the patient had been alive?
W: Yes, it is possible that he had been alive and working as a lawyer somewhere.
Apparently, this is one of them "true stories". When it comes to lawyers, I am inclined to believe it.
