The Supercar Registry - Mechanics 101

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the
verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful
hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and become a
mechanic.

He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up
for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.

When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared
carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.

When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a
score of 150%.

Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear
ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if there had been
an error which needed adjusting."

The instructor said "during the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly,
which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together
again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."

The instructor went on to say, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did all
of it through the muffler."
