The Mechanic
A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon walked over to the mechanic. The mechanic wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. How come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon smiled and said, “Try it with the engine running.”
