A doctor gave a man a diagnosis of morbus curatio specious. The disease was incurable and invariably fatal, but fortunately, with regular treatments, the symptoms could be masked and the progress of the disease halted indefinitely. All the fellow needed to do was eat 30 grams of human brains each day. The doctor gave the man a prescription and the address of a specialty supplier. Walking into what looked like an ordinary butcher shop, the man nervously asked if the butcher had any specialty cuts. Of course, I have the finest Japanese Kobe beef filet mignon in the city, the butcher replied. Um, no. Im thinking of something more exotic. Ah, an adventurous man. In this case here, he said gesturing, I have American buffalo, South African ostrich, Brazilian anaconda, and Australian salt water crocodile. Ah, not really what I was looking for. Do you have anything more exotic than that? If you mean endangered species, then most definitely NO. I run a respectable shop. Oh, sorry. Its just that my doctor referred me here and... Wait, do you have a prescription? The man handed him the prescription and the butcher laughed. Why didnt you say so in the first place? But I thought you didnt traffic in illegal meats. You think Im a grave robber? Brains arent transplantable, so when organ donors die, their brains are distributed to licensed specialists, like me. So, what kind of brain would you prefer? There are different kinds of brains? Of course, this is a college town, so I mostly get the brains of professors. Thirty grams of nuclear physicist professor brain goes for ten dollars. Architecture professor brains go for $15. Chemistry professors for $25. English professors for $40. And law professor brains go for $1000 per 30 grams. The patient looked confused. I understand their might be some difference in the cost of brains, but how do you justify a thousand dollars for one dose of law professor brains! My good man, the butcher said indignantly. Do you have any idea how many law professors it takes to get 30 grams of brains?
