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

faces.

 

The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.

 

" First body, Pierre Dubois, Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his 20-year old mistress, hence the enormous smile, Inspector", says the Coroner.

 

" Second body, Hamish Campbell, Scotsman, 25, won £50,000 on the lottery, spent it all on whisky, died of alcohol poisoning hence the smile..."

 

The Inspector asked, "What about the third body?"

 

"Ah, " says the coroner, "this is the most unusual one. Paddy Murphy,

Irish, 30, struck by lightning."

 

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

 

"He thought he was having his picture taken."
