Ear to ear...

[Burnham Lad]

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them his results after the examination.

 

'First body: Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his mistress. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector', says the Coroner.

 

'Second body: 'Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol Poisoning, hence the smile.'

 

'And what of the third body?' asked the Inspector.

 

'Ah,' says the coroner, 'this is the most unusual one. Paddy from Belfast, 30, struck by lightning.'

 

'Why is he smiling then?' inquires the Inspector.

 

'Thought he was having his picture taken.'
