Are Politicians’ Brains Superior?

A man visited an organ bank, looking for a brain for his brother-in-law who was to undergo a transplant. He noticed a brain that had a $5,000 an ounce price tag on it and inquired about it.

“That’s just an ordinary blue-collar brain,” he was told.

“How about that one?” he asked, pointing to another with a $10,000 per ounce tag on it.

“Oh, that one is an accountant’s brain.”

Suddenly, the man scanned the row of increasingly expensive brains and spotted one that cost $50,000 per ounce.

“Tell me, what kind of brain is that one?”

“That’s a politician’s brain,” the answer came.

“A politician’s brain!” he exclaimed. “Why in the world would a politician’s brain be worth $50,000 an ounce?”

“Well,” the other fellow replied. “Just stop and think how many politicians it took to get an ounce of brains!”
