Once upon a time......
I heard this one the other day, and since it is completely outrageous (like all the best jokes) I could not resist repeating it. Indeed, I would be failing in my duty if I did not. So here goes.....
=================
Once upon a time, in a country not very far away and in a time not so far into the future, a brain surgeon was looking for a new brain for one of his patients. So he went into a brain shop to check out what was currently available.
"Ah yes," said the brain monger. "We have a reasonable stock at the moment. This one here, for example, is a nuclear physicist's brain, a snip at £50. Then we have a very nice poet's brain on special offer, for just £100. And over here we have, at the top of our range, an archaeologist's brain for a cool £1,000........."
What?" exclaimed the brain surgeon. "You must be joking!"
"Not at all, my dear sir," came the reply. "It's as good as new. In fact, completely unused......"
