There is a man at a desk writing something down. Another man is laying behind him in a coffin.
A dead man would be out of place unless this is a mortuary.
Is the man really dead?
Any stiffness?

A joke about rigor mortis --- doctors will ask people about their symptoms during a checkup, e.g., stiffness in various parts of their body. But here, the doctor's patient is already dead, and when people die, their bodies become stiff in a process called rigor mortis. So, while the person is experiencing stiffness, the doctor weirdly doesn't realize that he's dead, which is absurd/funny.
