Just because it's true!

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 sombre.



'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 pricing procedure.

We have to mark down the price of the female brains , because they've
actually been used.
