One pound of brain

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
product a pound of brain?" the doctor replied.
