Science Fiction
In the year 2113 heart transplants had gone out of fashion and electro-mechanical hearts were the in thing. Love no longer existed.Another in thing was brain transplants. And quite affordable too. Scientists have found a way to recover the brain power of people who had died even centuries ago.
A fellow in want of a new brain rocked up at the Brain Bank. Hundreds of brains were on display
The likes of Einstein, Beethoven and Mark Twain were there going for a song at US$6.00
Accountants and scientists were going for US$50.00 while factory workers and manual labourers went for US$100.00
And right at the top, in a special cooled container, sat a brain labelled ‘Catfoot’. Going for a cool US$1,000,000.00
“What BS is this?” the fella asked. “$6.00 for a genius and you want $1,000,000.00 for this unknown Cat.”
“Yes sir.” The salesman said, “But you must remember; that brain up there had never been used.”
Enjoy what is left of your Sunday.

That happened before I started blogging and blogging takes a lot of brain power.
I may just get into your budget range soon.
That is wishful thinking my friend. People in management positions go for a meager US$ 500,000.00
always a huge price tag on someones head, for someone with a brain.
When I had a brain, it was terrible, the cops and everybody mowed me down. they said, this bloke is too clever.
Now, Ive switched it off, and am getting ready to be a laborer overseas. I live in peace.
It turned out that he had a good brain after all. your price had just plunged.
No such luck. Only brainy people dislike bankers. So don't expect to fetch too much.
We all have the same brains. Some just develop faster. Very important the toys we play with early in our lives.
One day soon
Pity we cannot have a remote to switch the brain off; or turn the volume up and down as needed.
He persisted too much in memory. $25 and it is yours.
A double helping for me please. And then there is another blog that came after mine needing a triple scoop.
What were you doing? Trying to whitewash the police force?
You can be glad it was a male police officer. If it was a female you may have ended up with a bucket over your head.
The movie was even worse. Amazing how they can exaggerate for the sake of sensation. I'm interviewing talent for the follow-up at present. Hence the close attendance.
The booking has expired. We've been in residence for a few months now. Every so now and then we are released for a week-end to let off steam.
Hmm... but it was no blockbuster. Too much stinging. It would seem that people don't like that.
cant live without an ID. and cant live with a great wrong done to them. and not pay back.
the chemicals in the brain just go out of control.
I'm afraid a man's brain sits at the right place. the problem is it shares the same blood supply with another bloodthirsty organ and the human body has only enough blood to operate one of them at a time. Gravity decides the preference when both need to be active.
Sorry that just came out cat
Lie down then and even out the blood supply
Now you may wonder why my brain had never been used. But I won't tell you.
I'm flat down on my back typing this. Not even using a pillow.
You could hardly blame me for them using their brains too often.
For me thinking will be a new experience.
Any offers ?
What an interest brain you have. And such dynamic wave patterns. But it appears to be very busy and I fear I cannot offer to much.
make it 5.25 and you have a deal.
I need the 25c to phone yo and make sure my old brain is not driving you mad
