Viewed: 220In a murder trial, thedefense attorney was
cross-examining the coroner:
Attorney: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken
the pulse?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you listen to the heart?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Coroner: No.
Attorney: So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren't
sure the man was dead, were you?
Coroner: 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.
