A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley when
a well-known heart surgeon came into the shop. The surgeon was 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 motor cycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag
and asked, "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, leaned over and whispered to the
Mechanic... "Try doing it with the engine running..."
