Check for Alive: Doctor’s Brainy Defense

In the courtroom, the defense lawyer is examining the witness.

“Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?”

“No.”

“Did you check for blood pressure?”

“No.”

“Did you check for breathing?”

“No.”

“So then, is it possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?”

“No.”

“How can you be so sure, Doctor?”

“Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.”

“But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?”

“Yes, it is possible he could have been alive… and even practicing law somewhere.”
