Got this from Nancy, had to post it.....lol In the hospital where a family member lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting room. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. Im afraid Im 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. Its 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 Democrats brain; $200 for a Republicans brain. The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to try not to 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 Democrats brain so much more than a Republicans brain? The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, Its just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the Republicans brains a lot lower because theyre used.
