Coroner

Coroner:

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles
on their faces.

The coroner calls the police to show them what’s happened.

A Detective Inspector is sent and is taken straight to the first
body.

“Englishman, 60, died of heart failure whilst making love to his
mistress.
Hence the enormous smile Inspector”, says the Coroner.

The DI is taken to the second dead man.

“Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on
whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.”

Nothing unusual here, thinks the DI, and asks to be shown to the last
body.

“Ah” says the coroner, “this is the most unusual one. Irishman, 30,
struck by lightning.”

“Why is he smiling then?” inquires the Inspector.

“Thought he was having his picture taken,” replies the coroner.
