Brain Inactivity
While visiting his niece, an elderly man had what was apparently a
stroke. The woman drove wildly to get him to the emergency room. After
what seemed like a very long wait, the E.R. doctor appeared, wearing his
scrubs and a long face.
Sadly, he said, "I'm afraid that your uncle's brain shows no sign of
activity, but his heart is still beating."
"Oh, dear," cried the woman, her hands clasped against her cheeks with
shock. "We've never had a Republican in the family before!"
