James: We're talking salesmen here -- living proof that the Neanderthals did survive. Fast forward to some time in the future when medical science has perfected brain transplants. Doctor: "I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. You have a brain tumor, and the only thing that I can do for you is a brain transplant." Patient: "Wow, that's scary. How much is that going to cost?" Doctor: "It depends on what kind of brain that we transplant. The cost is based on the weight of the brain. For example, a brain from an ordinary person runs $1,000 a pound. Now, if you can afford more, you can have an engineer's brain for $3,000 a pound. About the same for programmers. The going rate for doctors' and lawyers' brains is $7,500 a pound. And then there are rocket scientists' brains; figure $10,000 to $12,000 a pound." Patient: "Gee, that sounds expensive." Doctor: "Not really. Salesmen's brains run $100,000 a pound." Patient: "Why are salemsen's brains so expensive?" Doctor: "Actually it's pretty cheap when you figure how many salesmen we have to kill to get a pound of brains." -- cmg
