An elderly man suffered a massive heart attack. The family drove wildly
to get him to the emergency room.

After what seemed like a very long wait, the ER Doctor appeared, wearing
his scrubs and a long face. Sadly, he said, "I'm afraid he is
brain-dead, but his heart is still beating."

"Oh, Dear Lord," cried his wife, her hands clasped against her cheeks
with shock! "We've never had a Democrat in the family before."
