The Heart Surgeon

 

The Heart Surgeon

The Mechanic Asks The Heart Surgeon… when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.

The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?”

The 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 open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new

So 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 paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic,

“Try doing it with the engine running.”
