Feminist Joke
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 sombre.
“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, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but 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 finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask:
“Why is the male brain so much more?”
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, “It’s just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they’ve actually been used.”

Oooh, get you!
Well, here’s one for you:
A guy goes into the vet’s with his alsatian, which he says is having trouble waking up. The vet examines the dog, puts on a grave face and explains that the dog is dead.
The man demands a second opinion.
The vet brings in two animals from the next room - a ginger tabby, and a black labrador. The cat walks around the alsation twice, looks up at the vet and offers a plaintive meow.
The vet tells the man that the cat thinks his dog is dead, too, but the man demands another opinion.
So the black labrador goes over to the alsation, sniffs it, lowers his head and growls softly.
The vet tells the man his dog is dead, and both the cat and the labrador agree. The man finally accepts the diagnosis and asks the vet how much he owes him.
“£650″ says the vet.
“£650?” says the man. “How on earth can you justify that?”
“Well,” says the vet, “…it would only have been £50 but you insisted on the cat scan and the lab tests…”
