Hi all have a feeling this has done the rounds before but worth another giggle...
In the hospital the relatives gathered inthe waiting room, where their family member laygravely 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 pri cing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used..'
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
That reminds me of another joke along the same vein...
An elderly patient needed a heart transplant and discussed his options with his doctor. The doctor said, "We have 3 possible donors; the 1st is a young, healthy athlete who died in an automobile accident, the 2nd is a middle-aged businessman who never drank or smoked and who died flying his private jet. The 3rd is an attorney who died after practicing law for 30 years. Which do you want?"
"I'll take the lawyer's heart," said the patient.
After a successful transplant, the doctor asked the patient why he had chosen the donor he did. "It was easy," said the patient, "I wanted a heart that hadn't been used."
A man needs a brain transplant and the doctor comes to explain his options.
"he could have a guitarist's brain, that costs £200 per kg. Or we have bassists' brain, that costs £300 per kg. Or, the third option is drummers' brain, which costs £1000 per kg."
Intrigued, the patient's family asks why the drummers' brain costs so much more.
"is it a lot better?" asks his brother.
"well, no" replies the doctor, but have you any idea how many drummers have to die to get a whole kg?"
Brilliant!
