`A patient needed a brain transplant and the doctor told the family, "Brains
are very expensive, and you will have to pay the costs yourselves."

"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.

"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000," replied the
doctor.

Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men
nodded because they thought they understood. But the patient's daughter was
unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female
brains?"

"Standard pricing practice," said the doctor. "Women's brains have to be
marked down because they've actually been used.
