A few hours after the operation, the guitarist wakes up to find himself surrounded by doctors and nurses.
“What’s wrong”, asked the guitarist
“There was an error”, says the doctor who operated.
“Instead of a hair transplant, we operated to remove half of your brain”, added a doctor.

Johnny died and after his death, he went to St. Peter for judgment. After they talked a little, St. Peter says to Johnny:
“There are a few rooms back here. There are people with different IQ scores in them. You should choose where you want to stay for all eternity. Chose the one that fits you”, said St. Peter and moved to let Johnny pass into the hall behind him.
Above the door to the first room was a sign: “IQ 190”. Johnny walks up to the door, opens it a little, and starts listening to the conversation between the people inside.
“Do you know that the cosmos is made of matter and antimatter? Black holes are very important and they are a space where the singularity is valid”, said the voices inside.
After hearing this, Johnny closed the door and went to the next door, and above it, there was a sign: “IQ 130”. Johnny opened the door again a little so that he could hear the conversations of the people inside.
“Rock music is the best music. Jazz is also good but you need to understand it”, it was blaring from the room.
When he heard this, Johnny decided to go to the end of the hall and see who was in the last room. When he got to the back door he saw that above it was written: “IQ 10”.
Johnny went to the door and opened it. Inside he saw two guys standing side by side. At that moment, one of them looked the other in the eyes and asked:
“What size drumsticks do you use?”
