THE CARDIOLOGIST AND THE MECHANIC

A 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 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 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.'
