The Healey Mechanic and the Heart Surgeon
A mechanic was removing the cylinder head from the motor of an Austin-Healey
when he spotted a well known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there
waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his auto. 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
Healey. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked,
"So, Doc, look at this engine. I open it's 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 and leaned over and whispered to the mechanic . . .
.
"Try doing it with the engine running!"
