Price of Brains

A woman who was diagnosed as being terminally ill was told she needed a brain transplant using a 1-1/2 pound brain.

She was also informed that a 1-1/2 pound brain of a surgeon would cost $500 and the 1-1/2 pound brain of a movie star $600. She replied that since her father had been a famous lawyer she would prefer a lawyer brain.  That's fine, she was told, but that will cost you $10,000.

"What?" she replied incredulously. "If a surgeon's brain only costs $500, why does a lawyer's brain cost $10,000?" "Do you have any idea how many lawyers it takes to get 1-1/2 pounds of brain?" the doctor replied.
