How much does
a brain cost ?
In
the hospital the relatives gathered in
the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.
Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.
"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he
surveyed the worried faces.
"The only hope left for your loved one at
this time is a brain transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky
but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you
will have to pay for the brain yourselves..."
The family members sat silent as they
absorbed the news. After a great length of time,
someone asked, "Well,how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a
male brain, and $200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room
tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women,
but some actually smirked.
A man unable to control his curiosity,
blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,
"Why is the male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence
and explained to the entire group,
"It's just standard pricing procedure.
We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually
been used."
SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN
WHO NEEDS A LAUGH
AND TO THE MEN YOU THINK
CAN HANDLE IT
