Bodega Brains

Dr. Frankstein sends his faithful Igor down to a body part bodega in search of some brains. Upon arrival at said store, Igor is browsing the wide selection of brains offered by the establishment. He comes across a jar labeled B.S. 22 Deutsche Marks per kilogram and continues further and finds a jar labeled M.S. 31 Deutsche Marks (DEM)/kg. An excited Igor starts thinking to himself, “the master said to find the best brains money could buy – the M.S. brains are better than the B.S. but I should continue on.” He looks at a higher shelf of brains and comes across Ph.D. 55 DEM/kg. Igor picks up the jar and brings it to the counter. He glances up one more time behind the clerk and notices a dust covered jar high up on a shelf. The jar says 221 DEM/gram. Igor rejoices. “If a kilo of BS brains is 22 DEM, and MS is 31 DEM, and Ph.D. is 55 DEM then the price of brains increases as the intelligence increases” Igor turns to the clerk and says, “what kind of brains are those.” The clerk replies Administrator brains. Igor’s face suddenly becomes puzzled, “why do the Administrator brains cost so much more than the Ph.D.’s?” The clerk smiles at Igor and replies, “because it takes many administrators to get a gram of brains.”

I often find myself laughing at the idiocy of some adninnies. I get a call at work today that someone needs something faxed to their office. I, being the only available person, must watch the phones. Within 15 minutes the same woman calls back and says the person is not going to be in tomorrow and needs that fax now. I just wanted to say, “well if your person knew of prior engagements maybe you should’ve called earlier in the day rather than the last minute.” My office is a busy one, right now only one person here is covering calls for a possible 600 people that might have some questions. We are not superhumans, you are not allowed to have expectations of us that you couldn’t have for yourself.
