Mechanics

Postby U4EA » Fri Mar 11, 2011 12:59 am

A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley-Davidson when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist 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 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 and you make $1,695,000 when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."

I went to trade school with a guy who was a proctologist of all things. He said he was looking for a career change. Anyway, He was actually a pretty good mechanic. I once saw him change a set of piston rings, rod bearings and lap some valves in under an hour. The amazing part is that he did it all through the exhaust pipe. ;D
