Hiccups

"Hiccups"

A man goes into a drug store and asks the
pharmacist if he can give him something
for the hiccups. The pharmacist promptly
reaches out and slaps the man's face.

"What did you do that for?" the man asks.

"Well, you don't have the hiccups anymore
do you?"

The man exclaims, "I don't have the hiccups!
My wife does!"

"Brain Surgery"

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 surveyed
the worried faces.

"The only hope left for your loved one at this
time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental
procedure, semi-risky and you will have to
pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they
absorbed the news. After a great length
of time, 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. Men in the
room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact
with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted
out the question everyone wanted to ask,
"Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence
and so to the entire group said, "It's just
standard pricing procedure. We have to mark
down the price of the female brains, because
they've actually been used."
