We sell brains! Come and buy our brains!

 


In order for my old pals in Gothenburg not to suffer from winter depression, it is of course best that I hatch an old joke that circulated in Gothenburg in the sixties - and a good laugh prolongs both the mouth and the life.

Gothenburg Hospital had started with brain transplants, and so they put a huge ad on the front page of Gothenburg Post:

We sell brains! Come and buy our brains!
Worker's brains - one cent for each brain!
Politician brains - one billion dollars for each brain!

And then an old man called the hospital and asked the doctor:
-How is it that politicians' brains are so expensive, when workers' brains only cost one cent each?
- Well, you understand - it is of course because a politician's brain has never been used, but a worker's brain is always completely worn out!

And so that our poor politicians don't feel discriminated, I will of course blurt out another old joke from Gothenburg in the sixties that even politicians can laugh at:

An old man thirsty for coffee entered the gas station:
- Can I have a cup of coffee without sugar?
- No, unfortunately - I'm terribly sorry, but it's actually not possible - because we don't have any sugar!
- But you have petrol, right?
- Yes - of course we have petrol!
- WONDERFUL!!! Can I have a cup of coffee without petrol?
- Yes, of course - go ahead, here's a cup of coffee without petrol!
