Why did the alligator cross the road? To get the chicken.

 Hmmm.

Lately there have been a lot of chickens.  Joanne Worley would be proud.

Me?  Be "Topical"?  Naah!  Or am I?



 What does a brain weigh these days?

A man is laying in the hospital, waiting to be the first person in history to receive a brain transplant.

A doctor comes in and says, "Congratulations! But unfortunately, since this is a new procedure, your insurance isn't going to cover it all. So we're going to give you 3 choices for brains and you can decide which you can afford."

The man says to the doctor, "Okay, what are they?"

The doctor says, “Well, first there's the engineer brain, that's $100 an ounce. Then there's the astrophysicist brain, that'll cost you $200 an ounce. Finally, there's the politician brain. That's the most expensive at $1000 an ounce."

The man looks at the doctor, surprised… “that's absurd! Why is the politician brain so expensive?"

The doctor turns to him and says, “Sir, do you have any idea how many politicians it takes to get an ounce of brain?"
