A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a vintage Jag
XK140 when a well known heart surgeon came in to his shop. The surgeon was
there
waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his car.
The Mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The Surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the Jag.
The Mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said "So, Doc,
look at this engine. I open its heart, take pistons and rings out, fix'em,
put 'em 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."

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle
when a well-known heart surgeon came in to his shop. The surgeon was there
waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike.
The Mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The Surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the
motorcycle. The Mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said
"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 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."
