Mussolini's brain 'up for sale on eBay'

Mussolini's brain 'up for sale on eBay'
07:43 AEST Sat Nov 21 2009
Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's blood and brain went on sale for
15,000 euros ($A24,343) on online auction website eBay before the
company pulled the ad posted by an anonymous seller.
"No bid was made during the brief time the advert was visible," eBay
said on its website on Friday, explaining the removal on the grounds
that the company did not authorise sales of human matter.
"It's a disgrace trying to sell my grandfather's brain and blood,"
Alessandra Mussolini, the neo-fascist granddaughter of Il Duce, told Sky
TG24 television.
She said the remains of her grandfather, who was hanged by partisans at
the end of World War II, were normally kept in a Milan hospital. The
television station said the hospital denied the claim.

An Italian brain must be very rare.

A guy walks into a meat shop to buy some brains.
He's looking at all the different brains and notices a sign
on some that says, "Chinese Brains, $2.00 per kg."
A little further along is a sign that says, "Canadian
Brains, $2.50 per kg."
Then he sees one that says, "Italian Brains, $14.99 per kg".
In amazement, he asks the butcher why Italian brains are
worth so much more than Chinese or Canadian brains. Like,
are they smarter or something?
The butcher replies, "Do you know how many Italians we have
to kill to get a kg of brains?"

Very old Ukranian joke but you get a 6 for updating it.

The original version I heard was lawyers, engineers and
accountants.
Matthew Kruk
I heard the Ukranian version circa 1971.

It is one of those jokes that is very, very easy to modify.
Pick any three ethnicities or any three occcupations, and
away you go.
Speaking of Ukrainian jokes, How do you sink a Ukrainian
submarine. <scroll down for the answer>
A: Open the screen door.
BTW, I originally heard this joke as a Polish joke.
And of course, there was the Ukrainian who put on one winter
boot before going out to shovel the driveway. According to
the weatherman, there was one foot of snow.

Or Newfie etc. Yeha, know what you mean.

Yep, head that one last year as a Newfie joke.

Well it is the same way you sink an old Soviet submarine these days.
