So, Victor Frankenstein sends his assistant down to Ingolstadt to buy fresh brains for his final procedure.
The assistant, walking into the town’s best abbatoir, inquires about the trays of un-priced brains. The butcher informs him, as they stroll past the displayed merchandise, that the first tray - teachers’ brains are $299.99 a kilo, the second tray at $599.99 are bankers’ brains, lawyers’ brains at 799.99, scientists' brains at $999.99, politicians' brains at $1599.99, and so on.
The two arrive at the final tray of brains where Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant, for thoroughness sake , asks… how much?
$5,999.99 a kilo, replies the butcher.
Catching his breath, at the dramatic increase in price, the doctor’s assistant whispers “why so much”
The butcher, drawing himself up, declares – Why, those are artists’ brains, do you have any idea how many of those it takes to make up a kilo?”
Badda-bing.
