"Hey, hey, LBJ, how many jokes did you tell today?"

This joke was a favorite of President Lyndon B. Johnson's:
An elderly man needed a heart transplant, and his doctor told him there were three choices available. There was an 18-year-old athlete, a 22-year-old dancer, and a 75-year-old banker. 
The patient asked about the politics of the banker and was told he was a Republican.
Upon getting this information, he chose the banker's heart. 
The transplant was successful, and afterwards, people asked the elderly man why he had bypassed the hearts of younger men.  
To which he replied, "I wanted a heart I knew had never been used."
