A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
Davidson motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his
shop. The cardiologist 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 cardiologist, 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 $60,000 a year and you get
the really big bucks when you and I are doing basically the same work?'
The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the
mechanic ... 'Try doing it with the engine running.'
