A mechanic was busy removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Harley Davidson motorcycle when he spotted a well known heart surgeon in the shop. The surgeon was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his bike.
The mechanic, while still working on the engine, said, "Hey, doc. Can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the bench the fellow was working at, and shook his head indicating yes.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, "Doc, look at this engine. I open it up to get at its innards, take out pistons, valves, rods, most all inside parts, fix'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it runs just like new. Why do I get such a small salary as compared to you when you and I do basically the same type of work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running!"
