deed
this is one of those friend of a friend stories you see so often on the internet. but i like it. so i'm gonna repeat it. a friend of mine was in med school and was working in the er when a dead man walked in. there wasn't anything wrong with him. he just insisted he was dead. it was a slow night. so my friend talked to him for a while. and ascertained that he was just a crazy guy. he tried to convince him he wasn't dead. look you're breathing. no i'm not. man holds breath. doc-in-training sticks a stethoscope on him. and let's him listen to his heart beat. which crazy guy denies being able to hear. finally, he asks, do dead people bleed? no, of course not. so he gets a needle and pricks the guy's finger. the man looks at the blood drop on his fingertip. see? you're not dead. the man says huh, dead people bleed.
