A woman diagnosed as having a brain tumor was told by her doctor that she would need the transplant of a one-pound brain. The doctor then asked, „What type of brain do you want?“ „What type?“ the woman asked. „Yes,“ replied the doctor. „There is a substantial difference in price. For example, a one-pound brain of a surgeon costs $60,000, while you can get a one-pound brain of a nuclear physicist for $50,000, and so on. „Can you give me a one-pound lawyer’s brain? Ever since I was a little girl I’ve dreamed of being a trial attorney.“ „That’s $250,000,“ the doctor replied. „Why so much?“ the woman asked. „That’s over four times what a surgeon’s brain costs.“ „Do you have any idea how many lawyers it takes to produce a pound of brain?“ the doctor replied.
