     A man went to the doctor and had some tests done. The doctor came in and said, "Well, I�ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is that you have an inoperable brain tumor. However, the good news is our hospital has just been certified to do complete brain transplants. Now, there has just been an accident right out front. A young couple was killed and you can have whichever brain you would like." The doctor, knowing that in these days of managed care, price is often an issue in making health care decisions, went on to bring up relative costs. "The man�s brain is $100,000 and the woman�s brain is $30,000."
     The patient could not help but ask, "Why such a large price difference between the male and the female brain?
     The doctor replied, "The female brain is used."

A state trooper was driving down the highway. He saw a truck pull over to the side of the road. As he was watching, the driver got out of the truck, walked around to the side of the truck and banged on it several times. The trooper, watching this go on, thought it was odd, but let it pass. Five miles down the road, he saw the trucker stop, get out and bang the truck again, then get back in the truck and drive off. When this happened a third time after five more miles, the trooper couldn't stand wondering what that trucker driver was doing anymore, so he pulled over behind the truck, and went up to the driver and asked why he kept banging the truck. The trucker replied, "The load limit on this road is ten tons, and I have fifteen tons of parakeets in there, so I always have to keep some of them flying around."

A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03p.m. One afternoon, as the the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!" "No, I'm sorry," replied the bartender, "it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."
