A mid-level executive was so frustrated at being passed over
for promotion year after year, that, in frustration, he went to
a brain-transplant center in the hope of raising his I.Q. 20
points.
After a battery of physical and psychological tests, he was
told by the center's director that he was an acceptable
candidate.
"That's great!" the executive said. "But I understand that this
procedure can be really expensive."
"Yes, sir, it can," the director replied. "An ounce of an
accountant's brain for example, costs one thousand dollars; an
ounce of an economist's brain costs two thousand; an ounce of a
corporate president's is forty-five thousand. An ounce of a
Democrat's brain is seventy-five thousand dollars."
"Seventy-five thousand dollars for an ounce of a Democrat's
brain?? Why on earth is that?"
"Do you have any idea," the director asked, "how many Democrats
we would have to kill?"
