The Cost of a Brain
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 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,
semi-risky and 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 Democrat brain,
and $200 for a Republican brain." The moment turned awkward. Democrat family members in the room tried not
to smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republican family members, but some actually smirked.
A Republican, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the
question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the Democrat brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and so to the entire
group said, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the Republican brains, because
they've actually been used."
