One reputed to be true:

Defence lawyer: Are you sure that Mr B was dead when you carried out your post-mortem?
Pathologist: Yes.
DL: How can you be so sure? Did you check vital signs?
P: No, I did not check vital signs. I was sure that Mr B was dead because his brain was in a bottle on my desk.
DL: But could you be SURE?
P: No, I suppose it is quite possible that he was alive and practising law!

There is, however, that awful moment (an OHNOSECOND?) in Court (David will vouch for this) when you hear a voice saying something totally crass and stupid and you realise with horrow that it's you!
