The price of a brain. From Lisa Reichelt.
At hospital, the relatives gathered in the waiting room,
where a 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, semi-risky,
and you'll have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family
members sat silent as they absorbed the news. At length, someone asked,
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded,
"A female brain goes for $2,000. A male brain costs $5,000."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding
eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A girl, unable
to control her curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted
to ask,
"Why does the male brain cost so much more?" The doctor
smiled at her and then said to the entire group,
"It's a standard pricing procedure. We mark the female brains
down because they're used."
Men and Women. From Carie_blue.

blah, blah, blah, blah, C'MON
blah, blah, blah, blah, YOU AND I
blah, blah, blah, blah, ON THE FLOOR
blah, blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES
blah, blah, blah, blah, RIGHT NOW
Postman Pat. From Julian Shearer.
It was Postman Pat's last day on the job after 35 years of
carrying the post through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.
When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by
the whole family there, who all hugged, thanked and congratulated
him and sent him on his way with a gift cheque of 500.
The family at the second house presented him fine Cuban cigars in
an 18-carat gold box. The folks at the third house handed him a case
of 30-year old Scotch whiskey.
At the fourth house he was met at the door by a beautiful blonde in
lingerie. She took him by the hand and led him up the stairs to the
bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had
ever experienced.
When he had had enough they went downstairs, where the beautiful blonde
fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry
waffles, and freshly-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied
she poured him a steaming cup of tea. As she was pouring, he noticed
Five Pound Note sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.
"All this is just too wonderful for words," he said, "but
what's the fiver for?"
"Well," said the blonde, "last night, I told my husband
that today would be your last day, and that we should do something
special for you, so I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Screw
him, give him a fiver.' ......... the breakfast was my idea."
