In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a 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, very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have
to pay for the "BRAIN.'
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?'
The doctor quickly responded, '$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200 for a Republican's brain.'
The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to 'try' to not smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man unable
to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the Democrat's brain so much more than a
Republican's brain?'
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the
Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used."
SEND THIS TO A SMART Republican WHO NEEDS A LAUGH, AND TO ANY Democrat WHO YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT!
