The mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The
cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take
a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the Garage, "Hey
Doc, want to take a look at this?"
The cardiologist, 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 opened its heart, took the valves out,
repaired the damage, and then put them back in, and when I finished,
it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get
the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the
same work?"
The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the
mechanic... "Try doing it with the engine running."
