A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well known cardiligist in his shop. The cardioligist 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 opened its "heart" , took the valves out, repaired any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make only $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks $1,695,759 a year 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 while the engine is running."
