Subject: Skilled Gynaecologist
A gynaecologist had a burning desire to change careers and
become a mechanic. So she found out from her local tech
college what was involved, signed up for evening classes and
attended diligently, learning all she could. When time for
the practical exam approached, she prepared carefully for
weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, she was surprised to find that
she had obtained a mark of 150%. Fearing an error, she
called the instructor, saying "I don't want to appear
ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if
there had been an error which needed adjusting."
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine
apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You
put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also
worth 50% of the mark. I gave you an extra 50% because you
did all of it THROUGH the muffler..."
