Garage
"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."
