Three Smiling Dead Bodies

Three dead bodies come into the morgue over the weekend, all with very big
smiles on their faces. Monday morning, the coroner calls the homicide chief to
tell him of the weekend's events.


The Coroner tells the Inspector, "First body is a 72-year-old Frenchman. He died
of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous smile."


"Makes sense," the detective says, scribbling some notes.

"The second body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won ten thousand dollars on
the lottery and spent it all on whisky.
Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile."

"Got it," the Inspector said. "What of the third body?"

"Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one. Sarah Palin, Governor of
Alaska, 45, struck by lightning."

"Well, why the heck is she smiling, then?" inquires the Inspector.

"Tragic," the coroner said. "She thought she was having her picture taken."
