Mechanic vs. surgeon



------------------------------------------------------------------------


A mechanic was removing the cylinder head from the engine of a 
Jaguar when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his garage. 

The surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come and take 
a look at his car.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, could I ask 
you a question?" 

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, 
"So Doc, take a 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 and leaned over, and then whispered to 
the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."
