BRAIN STRAIN
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, semi-risky and 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 so to the entire group said,
"It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of
the female brains, because they've actually been used."
