A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiovascular surgeon in his shop. The surgeon 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 surgeon, 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 surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic...
'Try doing it with the engine running'.
