Reminds of an OLD story about a man who was convinced that he was dead. His friends and family all tried talking him out of his nonesense, but he persisted, against all their arguments, maintaining that he was dead. Finally a doctor asked him a question, " Do dead men bleed?". After thinking about it for a minute, the man replied, " Of course not; Dean men do not bleed."
Upon hearing this, the doctor produced a needle, and stuck in it the man's hand, producing a couple of drops of blood. The man was incredulous. He just kept staring at the drops of blood from his own, supposedly, dead hand. After a few minutes, a look of anguish on his face, he looked at the doctor, and said, "Doc, I was wrong......dead men DO bleed."
