Re: Fw: [OTP] To be male or female... (not meant to offend. Just a joke!)

Hi Helen --

LOL -- good one...

And while on the topic of brain jokes, here's one that I can't resist sharing.

(Note: Since my major in college was math I feel I can freely poke fun of

mathematicians...

The joke goes:

A man enters a store where there is a section selling brains. Scanning over the

various types of brains he notices doctor brains are $10 a pound, and lawyer

brains are $12 a pound. He then enters a back room where mathematician's brains

are kept. He notices the price: $10,000 an ounce. Shocked he turns to the

clerk and asks why mathematician brains are so expensive. The clerk replies,

" Well, do you know how many mathematicians it takes to get an ounce of

brains??? "

Cheers.
