heart surgeon vs. bike mechanic joke

**skidMark** · 30th April 2006, 19:59

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 there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?"

The surgeon, 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 asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them 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, and whispered to the mechanic............."Try doing it with the engine running..."

LOL very good.

And I thought it was going to be just another dig at Harleys!

Reminds me of the joke about the gynaecologist who took a night class on motorcycle mechanics.
The final test consisted of completely stripping down a motorcycle engine, rebuilding it, and kicking it over, with a 6 hour time limit.
Although he had done what was required he was a little confuddled as to how he got a mark of 150% when the fellah next to him acheived exactly the same result and only got a grade of 100%.
He took his question to the examiner who explained that he felt it was only fair that he should give him extra credit for carrying out the entire job via the exhaust pipe.
