Family member lay gravely 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 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, "R s 200 for a male brain, and R s 50,000 for a

Female brain."

contact with the men, but some actually smirked. A woman unable to Control

his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the

female 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 male brains, because they've actually been used, the female

Brains are hardly ever used by the owners. So they are as good as new"
