Brain Transplants

Brain Transplants

In the hospital, where their family member lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting room.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

I'm afraid I am 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, risky, and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news.

At length, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$2000 for a female brain, and $5000 for a male brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A girl, unable to control her curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at her childish innocence and then to the entire group said, "It's a standard pricing procedure. We have to mark the female brains down, because they've been used."

Nice. $6000 can buy a whole lot of electronic goodies for the basement.

That's a lot of money. Since I apparently don't use my brain anyway, I should sell it.

Ok, I will take yours and I will give you mine that comes surgically repaired from shrapnel damage

It's a good deal since we only use 10% of our brains anyway.

Knapp recently posted a thread that claims otherwise. It perpetuates the idea that this particular piece of medical information is a myth.

* We use only 10 percent of our brains

This myth arose as early as 1907 but imaging shows no area of the brain is silent or completely inactive. I know I use at least 10.5% of my brain. On a good day.

Then again, for all we know, Knapp could be a brain merchant who is actively circulating false propaganda in order to significantly lower the price of brains. Are you looking to buy brains for a dirt cheap price, Knapp?

Way to ruin my joke Karoz. I was referencing that thread.
