The Brain
A Girl was in the hospital, her parents sat waiting in the waiting room...finally the doctor comes out.

Both parents jump up, and the whole room watches. “Is it serious?” the mom asked. “She needs a brain transplant,” the doctor replies. Both parents stand silent for a moment...then the father asks, “How much is it gonna cost?”
The brain? Girl’s are $450, and boy’s are $5,800.” All the men in the room seem to chuckle to themselves, then finally the father brings himself to ask, “Why are the boys’ more expensive than the girls’?” The doctor looks at him and replies, “We have to mark the girls’ down because they’re used.”
Old fire truck
A mighty fire had been raging at a Texas oil refinery. Fire engines from all around had tried in vain to get close enough to the fierce blaze to put it out, but the heat was so intense that no one could even get near the burning oil and gas. Hundreds of fire trucks from far and wide had been called and now they all just sat wondering what to do.
Suddenly, an old fire engine from a tiny fire company appeared in the distance. It was the only truck from a tiny town and had been driving all night in response to this alarm. To the amazement of all of the firemen, the tiny truck sped right past the other fire engines and came to a leisurely halt right at the base of the fire. The men in the tiny truck leaped out, doused themselves with water from their own hoses, and proceeded to extinguish the fire. The next day at an awards ceremony for the six heroic men of the tiny fire company, the Governor presented the fire chief with a cheque for $20,000.
“What do you think your fire company will do with such a large amount of money?”, asked the Governor.
“Well,” replied the old fire chief, “the first thing we’re gonna do with it is fix the brakes on that old truck!”
Two old men
There were two old men sitting on a park bench talking. One old man asked the other “How is your wife?”
The second old man replied “I think she is dead!”
The other old man “What do you mean you THINK she is dead?”
The second guy said, “Well.... the sex is the same but the dishes are starting to pile up.”
