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

[Guest guest]

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, " $5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female

brain. "

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding

eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone

wanted to ask, " Why is the male 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 female brains, because they've actually been used. "
