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 silently as they absorbed
the
news. After a great Length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does
a
brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$50 000 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 is just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the Price of the female brains, because they've actually been used, the male Brains are hardly ever used by the owners. So they are as good as new"
