True story The Daily Telegraph, Monday, January 5, 1998:
LAWYER: Before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
DOCTOR: No.
L: Did you check for blood pressure?
D: No.
L: Did you check for breathing?
D: No.
L: So, it was possible the patient was alive when you began your autopsy?
D: No.
L: How can you be so sure?
D: Because his brain was sitting in a jar on my desk at the time.
L: But could the patient have been still alive nevertheless?
D: It is possible that he could have been alive and practising law.
