One for the Devil!
Its the year 2050 and brain transplants are now carried out in the medical field with ease.
Bert was told that his brain had a tumour and had to be replaced and was told to come down to the brain storage to select a new one. Fortunately for Bert money was no object as the cost was very high.
The surgeon displayed the three brains to Bert and outlined a brief history and cost:
(1) The first brain was owned by a rocket scientist who was the best in his field. Graduated at 15 years of age and developed the fuel that replaced oil. Cost $250,000.
(2) The second brain was owned by a two time Noble prize winner who developed the cure for many forms of cancer as well as breaking new medical ground in many other areas. Price $500,000.
(3) The third brain was owned by a man of the name "JJ GOLD" now unfortuantely we have little info on this owner although he was known to once regually contribute to a site called Major Wager. This brain costs $1,000,000 (hair piece not included)!
"Wow" exclaimed Bert, this JJGOLD must have been a world leader, the Pope or some great scientist for a brain to be worth so much more than that of the first two. The surgeon replied "no the brain is worth that much as it was simply never used."  |
