It's Monday and I thought you might enjoy this:
THE MECHANIC
A gynecologist, tired of his profession and wanting less
> responsibility, decided a career change was in order. After some
> serious thought he decided that being an engine mechanic,
> something he had enjoyed up to the time he entered college,
> would be a good profession.
>
> However, it had been a long time since he had tinkered
> with an engine and he knew that to work on any of the newest
> engines and be able to compete with the younger work force,
> he would have to go to school. So he enrolled in a technical
> institute that specialized in teaching auto mechanics and pretty
> much aced the course.
>
> The final exam however, required each student to completely
> strip and reassemble a complete engine. So it was with some
> trepidation he took on the task.
>
> At completion, he turned the engine over to his instructors
> for evaluation and awaited his final grade. When the grades
> were handed out he did a double take at the 150% grade he received.
>
> Rather confused, he asked his instructor how it was possible
> to have a grade like this. The instructor replied that it really
> quite simple. He gave him 50% for correctly disassembling the
> engine, 50% for correctly reassembling the engine and an
> additional 50% for doing it all through the muffler.
Have a great week - Tony
