A wealthy man with a brain illness went to see a doctor.
The doctor told him that he needed a brain transplant to survive. The man had three options.
- The first option (and the cheapest) was the brain of a physicist, priced at $5,000.
- The second option was the brain of a mathematician, priced at $500,000.
- Finally, there was the brain of a government minister, priced at $5,000,000.
“Why is the minister’s brain so expensive?” the patient asked.
“Because it’s practically brand new,” the doctor replied.
