The Mechanic and the Cardiologist

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
getthe 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."
