Excellent Pcar mechnic Joke

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the
motor of an old 911 when he spotted a famous heart
surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was waiting for
the service manager to come look at his car. The
mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc,
can I ask you a question?" The surgeon, a bit
surprised, walked over to the mechanic working
on the Porsche. The mechanic straightened up,
wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, "So Doc,
look at this engine, I can open it up, take valves
out, fix'em and put in new parts, and when I finish,
this will work just like a new one. So how come
I get a pittance and you get the really big money,
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!"

So this guy goes into a Porsche shop and sez "I'd like to get a gas cap for my 924"

The shop manager thinks for a moment and sez "Sounds like a good trade..."

An older OB/GYN retires, and decides to learn how to do all the maintainence, etc. on his 356. A local community school is offering a "intro to VW engines" type course, and since the two are vaugely similar and he had St. Harry Pellow's videos and a copy of Elfrink's, he decided to enroll.

He goes thru the course, avidly learning the entire way. The big Final Project for the class was to do a complete take down and rebuild. When the grades were given, the old Doctor was given a double A+. Doc's a little confused about this, and asks.

The instructor tells him that not only did he do a wonderful job and produce a beatiful gold plated 912 engine, which earned him the first A+, he did the entire thing with the car up on jackstands and thru the tailpipes, which gave him the second A+.
