A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come 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 $39,675 a year (a
pretty small salary) and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) 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."
