Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did
you check for a pulse?" Witness: "No." Lawyer: "Did you
check for blood pressure?" Witness: "No." Lawyer: "Did
you check for breathing?" Witness: "No." Lawyer: "So,
then it is possible that the patient was alive when you
began the autopsy?" Witness: "No." Lawyer: "How can
you be so sure, Doctor?" Witness: "Because his brain was
sitting on my desk in a jar." Lawyer: "But could the patient
have still been alive nevertheless?" Witness: "Yes, it is
possible that he could have been alive and practicing law
somewhere."
