Repair

A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley-Davidson when he spotted a well-known Cardiac Surgeon in his shop.

The Cardiac Surgeon 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 Cardiac Surgeon, 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 the damage, and then put them back in, and when I finished, it works just like new.

So how come I make $40,000 a year and you make $1,500,000 when you and I are doing basically the same work?'

The Cardiac Surgeon paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic...

'Try doing it with the engine running'.
