 are things people actually  said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by
 court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually
 taking place.

 ATTORNEY:   Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed
                        on dead people?

 ATTORNEY:   Did you check for blood pressure?
 WITNESS:      No.
 ATTORNEY:  Did you check for breathing?
 WITNESS:      No..
 ATTORNEY:  So, then it is possible that the patient
                       was alive when you began the autopsy?
 WITNESS:      No.
 ATTORNEY:  How can you be so sure, Doctor?
 WITNESS:      Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a  jar.
 ATTORNEY:  I see, but could the patient have still been alive,
 nevertheless?
 WITNESS:     Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and
 practicing law.
