Heart surgeon
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the
motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a
well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon
was there waiting for the service manager to come take
a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across
the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where
the mechanic was working on the motorcycle.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag
and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its
heart,
take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them
back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.
So how come I get such a small salary and you get the
really big bucks, when you and I are doing
basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over,
and whispered to the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running"
