The first brain extension operation has been hailed a complete success by Dr David Brown who works part-time as a GP in Somerset. He was asked to carry out the procedure by two accountants who'd come to look over his books.
He said he hadn't planned to extend Accountant As brain but when Accountant A saw that Accountant B could do very difficult addition sums in his head without using a calculator, he really wanted to be able to do that too. He declared this wish out loud and then laughed, but Dr Brown told Accountant A that it was his lucky day because he'd had a cancellation for toe-nail surgery and the two procedures were very similar.
Both Accountants A and B decided that they may as well give it a go. They both agreed to the procedure and the GP carried it out under local anaesthesia.
The GP said he hadn't really considered a brain extension possible before because of the general lack of electrical plug sockets in his office but once he got started sucking bits of brain from one accountants ear with a battery controlled hoover, he then used a plug in leaf blower to blow the extra brain cells into the other accountants ear. It was all very easy and very ecologically friendly. I've patented the idea and once I've got my protocols all worked out I don't see why this type of thing can't be done every day in every surgery right across the country.
Accountant A is very happy with the results of his surgery and has been able to throw away his calculator, but Accountant B wasn't quite so happy because he had to go and buy one. Accountant A compensated him financially for this extra expenditure upon the production of a verifiable receipt.
