I’ve decided I’d like a new brain.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I really think it’s time.

Mine is OK, I guess. It’s pretty smart sometimes and makes me laugh occasionally. The rest of the time, it just never stops thinking and, frankly, I’m tired of it!

I’m not picky. I’d take a simple brain. One that sees the sun shining and the birds chirping and takes it for what it is instead of wondering if the sun is searing cancer into your skin and whether or not the birds have the flu. I really think there’s a market for this brain thing. Like, imagine a store where you walk in and grab a cart and then stroll the aisles of brains reading the different descriptions. Obvio there are various price points. For instance, mine would cost you about $2 and the kind I’m looking for probably about $300,000 with a coupon.

Now if we could get some brains on Amazon Prime, that’d be majjoorrrrrr key.
