\begin{document}

Genuine Lawyer Joke: From a Californian trial report published in the
\emph{New York Times} comes the following exchange.

\begin{dialogue}

\lawyer
	``Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the
	pulse?''

\pathologist
	``No.''

\lawyer
	``Did you listen to the heart?''

\pathologist
	``No.''

\lawyer
	``So, when you signed the death certificate you weren't sure he
	was dead, were you?''

\pathologist
	``Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in
	a jar on my desk. But I guess he could be out there practising
	law somewhere.''

\end{dialogue}
