on the lighter side -- finally!!

An Internet joke I just got sent---

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
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 suyveyed the
worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a
brain transplant. It's 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 yourselves."
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news.
Finally someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain
cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a
female brain."
The moment turned awkward.
A few men in the room actually smirked.
Then one blurted out the question on everyone's mind: "Why does the male brain cost so much more?"
The doctor explained: "It's just standard pricing procedure.
We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've
actually been used."
