Subject: great mechanic!


A gynecologist had become fed up with
malpractice insurance and was on the
verge of being burned out. Hoping to try
another career where skillful hands
would be beneficial, he decided to
change careers and become a mechanic. He
found out from the local technical
college what was involved, signed up for
evening classes, attended diligently,
and learned all he could. When the time
for the practical exam approached, the
gynecologist prepared carefully for
weeks, and completed the exam with 
tremendous skill. When the results came
back, he was surprised to find that he
had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an
error, he 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." The instructor went on to
say, "I gave you an extra 50% because
you did all of it through the muffler."
