friends-
as a surgeon, I have a somewhat natural adversarial view of lawyers- a
friend sent this to me, I apologize for "unapproved content" on some list
to which I'm sending this
Subject: Lawyer Joke
This was taken from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office
publication "The Point of View"
In a murder trial, the defense attorney was cross-examining a
pathologist. Here's what happened:
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.
