The Cardiologist
A Ford motor mechanic was removing a cylinder head from an engine when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his work shop.
The doctor was there waiting for the service manager to come and take
a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey doc, do you want to take a look at this?"
The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic
was working.
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 and replaced anything damaged and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new.
So how is it that I make $48,000 a year and you make $1.7 million when
you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The cardiologist paused, leaned over and whispered to the mechanic:
"Try doing it with the engine running!"
