A little fun - the brain transplant.

In the hospital, the relatives were gathered in the waiting room while
a 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, and very risky, but
it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will
have to pay for the BRAIN.'

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time,
someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?'The doctor responded,
'$5,000 for a male brain; $200 for a female brain.'

The moment turned awkward. Some of the men actually had to'try' to not
smile, avoiding eye contact with the women. One man, unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question that everyone wanted to ask, 'Why does a male brain cost

so much more than a female brain?'

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire
group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure.... We have to price the
female brains a lot lower because they've been used.'
