Quote of the day: "A day without laughter is a day wasted." -Charlie Chaplin

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 am 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

length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain

cost?" The Doctor quickly responded, "$5000 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 then 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 been

used."
