The Three Corpses
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 has happened.
A Detective Inspector is sent and is taken straight to the first body.
"Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure whilst making love to his mistress...hence the enormous smile Inspector," says the Coroner.
The Inspector is taken to the second dead man.
"Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on whiskey. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile."
"Nothing unusual here," says the Inspector, and asks to be shown the last body.
"Ah," says the Coroner, "look at this one, he's black. Nigerian, 30, struck by lightning."
"Why the bloody hell is he smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.
The Coroner replies, "It was his first time in the UK and he thought he was having his picture taken."
