To Outsmart Oneself

I wanted to share this hilarious account of an exchange in a courtroom where an overzealous attorney outsmarts himself.

Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
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?"
Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."

The illustration to this post is just a random picture of that ridiculously handsome Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, 33. 

Can we ever get to see too many pictures of Chris Hensworth? Or for that matter of any of the other strikingly handsome men?
