A lawyer was cross-examining the doctor about whether or not
he had checked the pulse of the deceased before he signed the death
certificate. "No," the doctor said. "I did not check his
pulse." And the lawyer asked, "And did you listen for a
heartbeat?" The doctor replied, "No I did not." And with a mischievous
grin, the lawyer said, "So, when you signed the death certificate, you had
not taken steps to make sure he was dead." Then the doctor said,
"Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was in a jar on my desk
but, for all I know, he could be out practicing law somewhere."
