Three dead 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: Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while drinking vintage champagne and eating foie gras. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector,’ says the coroner.

-‘Second body: Scotsman, 25, won £1,000 on the lottery, spent it all on whiskey. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.’

 

The inspector asks, ‘What of the third body?’

-‘Ah,’ says the coroner. ‘This is the most unusual one: Big Seamus Quinn from Donegal, 30, struck by lightning.’

-‘Why is he smiling then?’ enquires the inspector.

-‘He thought he was having his photo taken.’
