Male Brain vs Female Brain

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, "$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 explained to the entire
group,

"It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of
the female brains, because they've actually been used."
