A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted a famous heart surgeon in his shop. “So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind ‘em, put in new parts, and when I finish this works as a new one. So how come, you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work?” The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic: “Try to do this when the engine is running.”
