   Do medical examiners really have a “reputation”? I couldn’t name the medical examiner for my country and I’ve lived here for 20 years.

   Er, my “county”. I’ve lived in my country even longer.

   Carl,

   Medical examiners have a reputation among police officers and the legal community for their quality work (or lack thereof), so I think that is what is he is referring to here.

   What year of medical school do doctors study dramatic pauses?

   Surely phrases such as “either natural—-or supernatural” takes at least a semester of intense study to perfect!

   BTW, is it true that before they can be allowed to practice, all doctors have to take a brief course in maniacal laughter? Or was that just scientists?

   Just curious.

   “either natural — or supernatural”, covers quite a bit. His reputation is pretty safe … unless there are blood-feeding *artificial* creatures, (don’t turn your back on your Aibo).

   Obvious graduates of the “Starfleet James Tiberius Kirk School of Medicine”….. FOR…… THE…..DRAMATIC…… PAUSES.

   Everyone knows that Maniacal Laughter is learned on the Psychiatric Rotation (I am a Doctor of Divinity in Theology and a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology)… so that is how I know the answer to that question.

   God Bless,
