A defending attorney was cross examining a coroner.The attorney asks, "Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?" The coroner says, "No." The attorney then asks, "Did you listen for a heart beat?" "No." "So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?" The corner, now tired of the brow beating says, "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but for all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere."

Actual Answer from a Medical Student
While making his rounds, a doctor points out an x-ray to a group of medical students.

�As you can see,� he says, �the patient limps because his left fibula and tibia are radically arched.�

The doctor turns to one of the students and asks, �What would you do in a case like this?�

�Well,� ponders the student, �I suppose I�d limp, too.�
