A mechanic was removing the cylinder head from the engine of a Jaguar when he spotted the hospital 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, then whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."
