The cardiologist
A Ford motor mechanic was installing a cylinder head on a V8 when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his work shop.
The doctor was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey doc, do you want to take a look at this?"
The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired and replaced anything damaged and then put everything back in, and when I finish, it will work just like new. So how is it that I make $48,000 a year and you make $1.7 million when you and I are doing basically the same work?
The cardiologist paused, leaned over and whispered to the mechanic: "Try doing it with the engine running!"
