A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle 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 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 motorcycle. 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 and leaned over, and whispered to the
mechanic:
"Try doing it with the engine running."
