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