Subject: Fwd: In the hospital
In the hospital where a family member lay gravely ill, the
relatives gathered in the waiting room. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and
somber. "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's the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the
BRAIN. The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news.
After a time someone asked, "How much will a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200
for a Republican brain.
The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to
try not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man unable to
control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,
"Why is the Democrat's brain so much more than a Republican's brain?
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire
group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the
Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used.
SEND THIS TO A Republican WHO NEEDS A LAUGH,
AND TO ANY Democrat WHOM YOU THINK CAN HANDLE A JOKE
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the
Government
take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
Henry Ford
