Witness: 'No.'

Lawyer: 'Did you check for blood pressure?'

Witness: 'No.'

Lawyer: 'Did you check for breathing?'

Witness: 'No.'

Lawyer: 'So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?'

Witness: 'No.'

Lawyer: 'How can you be so sure, Doctor?'

Witness: 'Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.'

Lawyer: 'But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?'
