In the hospital, the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
family member lay ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and
somber. "I'm afraid I am 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 will have to pay for the brain yourselves." The family members sat
silent as they absorbed the news. After a few minutes, someone asked,
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded,
"$50,000 for a male brain, and $2,000 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward. The men in the room tried not to smile,
avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. One
man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone
wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more than the female
brain?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and then replied to the
entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark
down the price of the female brains, because they've been used."
