A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a car 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 car 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 car.
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 $55,000 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,000,000 +) when you and I are doing basically the same work?”
The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic…….
“Try doing it with the engine running.”
