A man is passing a butcher's shop and sees a sign: Special Offer - Brains Cow brains ------ a penny a pound Sheep brains ------ 2 pounds a pound Pig brains -------- 2 pounds a pound Doctor brains ------ 50 pounds a pound Engineer brains ------- 50 pounds a pound Programmer brains -------50 pounds a pound Lawyer brains ------ 1000 pounds a pound He goes into the shop and says to the butcher "Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing your sign - I suppose the cow brains are so much cheaper than the other brains because of the Mad Cow Disease scare?" "That's right" says the butcher. "And" continues the man, "I suppose the lawyer brains are so much more expensive than the other brains because they're such high quality?" "Not at all" says the butcher "do you know how many lawyers you got to kill to get a pound of brain?!"
