"Jack Klobnak writes in: "I took this pix in the 1970's. It is on Choteau Ave. in St. Louis, which was famous in the early 20th Century for Brain Sandwiches (use a lot of mustard). It was not uncommon for dolts to be told to take a quarter down to Choteau to get some brains. Sadly, the building is no longer standing."

The location appears to have since been completely redeveloped as a hospital."

Mustard? No! A big thick slice of onion is the only way to go. It's an STL tradition

Ah yes, brain sandwiches, a rare "delicacy" from the days before we had even heard of Mad Cow Disease.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to eat ANYONE'S brains, I like my prions folded correctly, thank you very much.

Inflation. Here in Laughlin, Nevada people have to leave their brains as a security deposit to rent jet skis. I know, because I see the brainless dolts on the river all the time.

"Wow! 25 cents for brains? Why so cheap?"

"They're women's brains... Men's are $2,000."

"Why the huge disparity?"

"Because the women's brains are used!"
