One day, there was a guy sitting around thinking, "Recently things just
haven't gone very well for me, and it has always been my own fault. My life
isn't working out. I just can't seem to think too well anymore. Hmm...
Maybe I should get a new brain, put it in my head, and try it out!"

So, he goes to an old part of town, and actually finds a shop that sells
human brains. When he enters the shop he sees rows and rows of brains
stored in jars.

The owner comes out, saying "What can I do for you?"

The guy points to one of the brains in the front row, and asks, "How much is
that one?" The owner says, "Well, that guy used to be a lawyer. The brain
is $30."

The guy gets excited by this. He thinks, "Wow, it really WAS a good idea to
come here! All I have to do is put this brain in my head, then I'll become
a lawyer and have a lot of power and money, all for 30 bucks!"

He points to another and says, "How about that one?" The owner says, "The
guy was a doctor, top of his field, and the brain is $20."

Now the guy is really pleased. He thinks, "Wow, 20 bucks. I'll put this
brain in my head, and end up with money, a beautiful wife, and a big house!"

He points to a smaller brain in a golden jar. He asks, "What about that
one?"

The owner says, "I'm sure you can't afford that one, so you may as well not
even ask!"

This makes the guy mad, and he says, "I asked HOW MUCH!!"

The owner says, "Well, it's $500,000! And THAT is a great deal!"

The guy is amazed, saying, "Wow, is that Einstein's brain, JFK, or someone
like that?"

The owner says, "No, no, he used to be a jazz drummer. In fact, once he
played at my daughter's wedding."

The guy gets really confused by this, and says, "Wait a minute: a lawyer's
brain is $30, a doctor's brain is $20, but you want $500,000 for a JAZZ
DRUMMER'S BRAIN?? WHY?????"

The owner says, "Well, he never really used his brain, so it's almost like
new!!"
