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, very risky but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but 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, "£50,000 for
a female brain, and £200 for a male brain."

The moment turned awkward. Women in the
room tried not to smile, avoiding eye
contact with the men, but some
actually smirked. A woman unable to control
her curiosity, blurted out the question
everyone wanted to ask,

"Why is the female brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence
and explained to the entire group,

"It's just standard pricing procedure.
We have to mark down the price of the
male brains, because they've actually been used."
 
"Nurse?"
"Yes, Mr Smith?"
"Give us a kiss."
"Don't be silly Mr Smith. You know we're not allowed to do that."
"Go on, nurse."
"No. Now go to sleep."
"Please, nurse. Just one."
"I'm not allowed to."
"Only a little one."
"I've told you no."
"Please."
"Stop it, Mr Smith."
"Just one little kiss."
"I've told you. Nurses aren't allowed to kiss patients."
"Pleeease."
"I shouldn't even be in bed with you."
