Different price

Different price

The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say.
"Things don't look good. The only chance is a brain transplant.
This is an experimental procedure. It might work, but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you will have to pay the costs yourselves."
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked,
but all the men nodded because they thought they understood.
A few actually smirked. But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team.
"Women's brains have to be marked down because they have actually been used."

That's odd

Once there was a boy named Odd. Odd was the butt of jokes his whole life, because of his name, even though he grew up to be a successful lawyer. When Odd was old and about to die, he said, "People have been teasing me my whole life, and I don't want them doing it after I am dead, so I don't want my name printed on my tombstone."
After Odd died, people saw his blank tombstone and said, "That's odd!"

There is no doubt about it

A poor man had a parrot which could only say the words "There is no doubt about it!" Its name was Poll, and all day long it called out, "There's no doubt about it!" To every question Poll always gave the same reply.

One day its master went to the market to sell it. "Who will buy my parrot?" he cried. "Twenty pounds for my parrot!"

A man, hearing the high price that was asked, turned to the parrot and said; "Poll, are you worth twenty pounds?"

"There's no doubt about it!" was Poll's reply.

The man was so pleased with this answer that he bought the bird and carried it home.

Some time later, he was sorry for his bargain. Standing beside the parrot's cage, he said: "What a fool I was to throw away so much money!"

"There's no doubt about it!" cried the bird.
