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 sm ile, 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.)
