Which reminds me of the following story (excuse me, I can't help myself):
A researcher goes to a brain store to buy a brain. He's shown various
models, ranging from $100 for the brain of a psychologist to $500 for the
brain of a neuroscientist, with a sociologist's brain on special at $50.
However, there's also the brain of a lawyer for sale for $2000.
Why, the researcher wants to know, is the brain of the lawyer so
expensive? The store-owner replies, "Because it's never been used."
