Harley Mechanic

[Balsam]

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

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage. "Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said, "Doc, look at this engine. I opened its' heart,' took the valves out, repaired any damage, and then put all parts back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.

So how come I make $39,700 a year and you get the really big bucks, $1,000,000 a year, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic.....

"Try doing it with the engine running."
