The mechanic and the 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
valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I
finish, it works just like new.
So how come I get such a small wage and you get the
really big money, 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."
