A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come 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 said, "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, a pretty small salary and you get the
really big bucks ($1,695,759) 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."
