A mechanic was working on removing a cylinder head from a Harley motorcycle engine when he noticed a well-known cardiologist waiting in his shop.
The cardiologist was there for a consultation with the service manager about his bike, but the mechanic, spotting him, called out, “Hey, Doc, wanna take a look at this?”
Surprised, the cardiologist walked over to the mechanic’s work area.
The mechanic stood up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, “So, Doc, check this out: I open up the engine, take out the valves, fix them if they’re damaged, and put everything back together. When I’m done, it runs just like new. So tell me, why do I make $39,675 a year, while you rake in $1,695,759, even though we’re basically doing the same thing?”
The cardiologist paused, smiled, leaned in, and whispered, “Try doing it with the engine running.”
