Salary Comparison

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.

The surgeon was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his
bike.

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 motorcycle. 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 measly salary and you get t! he really big
bucks when you and I are doing basically the same kind of work?"

The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the
mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."
