We all have a brain, but are we the brains of something - maybe a family or a group? And do we have the brains to succeed? It seems like we need a plural of brain to succeed.
The brain is the organ inside the head. It controls thought, memory, feelings and activity. As in the command: "Use your brain." What other organ are we going to use.
But when it comes to intelligence, we most often use brains. Here's a few funny expressions:
"The poor child inherited his mother's brains and his father's looks." " He's got brains but he's too lazy to use them." "Pick someone's brains" And don't forget this one - "\Shit for brains"
There are lots of brain and neuron jokes:
What happens when your brain sees a friend across the street? “It gives a brain wave”. Why did the brain refuse to take a bath? “It didn’t want to be brainwashed”. What do you call a human skull without a hundred billion neurons? “A no-brainer”. What kind of brain images do dogs and cats like best? “PET scans”.
And then what about our minds? Where do they fit in? Ha, ha.
So we'll switch from winter to a Shakespearean summer's day with some sweet-smelling roses on a fence in Grimsby.
