"Try doing it with the engine running."
 
A mechanic was removing the cylinder head from the motor
of a Porsche 911 when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon
in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager
to come take a look at his 356 when the mechanic shouted across
the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was
working on the 911. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on
a rag, and asked, "So, Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out,
fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come
I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks,
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."

Alternate punchline:

The gynecologist paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it all through the tail pipe."

alternate punchline two:

The surgeon paused, frowned, and said, "ask my malpractice insurance carrier."

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin...

NEVER put the punchline of a joke in the subject line.

Just kills it.

Good joke, though, an old one, but a good one.

Similar joke:

A proctologist decides it's time for a new career. So he goes into a community college class to learn to work on cars. After months of study the final exam comes which is to completely disassemble and reassemble the engine. The class starts and after a few hours many of the class is finished. After another few hours almost everyone is finished. The poor proctologist is still slaving away some 12 hours later. After a full day of work, he finally finishes. He goes and wakes up the instructor, who has fallen asleep. "I'm done, but I'm sure I failed", he says. The instructor says "Why do you say that?". 'Well, because I took so long". The instructor replies "Yeah, but you're the first guy I've seen do all that through the tailpipe..."
