A Brain Transplant

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.
