I need to tell this one to my neurologist, who also has a JD, and did
malpractice defense work:

A lawyer was cross-examining the doctor about whether or not he had checked
the pulse of the deceased before he signed the death certificate. "No," the
doctor said. "I did not check his pulse." "And did you listen for a
heartbeat?" asked the lawyer. "No I did not," the doctor said. "So," said
the lawyer, "when you signed the death certificate, you had not taken steps
to make sure he was dead." The doctor said, "Well, let me put it this way.
The man's brain was in a jar on my desk but, for all I know, he could be out
practicing law somewhere."

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
