The Price of a Woman's Brain

The family matriarch had literally lost her mind. The doctor said, "She needs 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, "$10,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."

The men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eyecontact with the women, but some actually smirked.

Finally, one of the women blurted out, "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 theprice of the female brains, because they've actually been used."
