The Smiling Dead

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

Coroner tells the Inspector: “First body is a 77 Year Old Englishman. He died of heart failure while winning big money at a casino. Hence the enormous smile.”

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

The Inspector asked, “What of the third body?”

“Ah,” says the coroner, “This is the most unusual one. Danny Earl, a 30-year old redneck from Georgia, struck by lightning.”

“Why is he smiling then?” inquires the Inspector. “He thought he was having his picture taken.”
