A woman diagnosed as having a brain tumor was told by her doctor that she would need the transplant of a one-pound brain.
The doctor then asked, "What type of brain do you want?"
"What type?"
the woman asked.
"Yes," replied the doctor.
"There is a substantial difference in price.
For example, a one-pound brain of a surgeon costs $60,000, while you can get a one-pound brain of a nuclear physicist for $50,000, and so on.
"Can you give me a one-pound lawyer's brain?
Ever since I was a little girl I've dreamed of being a trial attorney."
"That's $250,000," the doctor replied.
"Why so much?"
the woman asked.
"That's over four times what a surgeon's brain costs."
"Do you have any idea how many lawyers it takes to produce a pound of brain?"
the doctor replied. |
