In the Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday there was a comment about a book called “Court in the Act”<\/a> which is a collection of some of the best court room exchanges in Australia over the years. Angus and Robertson Bookworld have the book available through their online store for about $22 and I have just ordered myself a copy, with some other books.

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No
Q: So, then, is it possible that the paitient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting in a jar on my desk.
Q: But could the paitient have still been alive, nevertheless?
A: Yes! It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.<\/p>\n
