A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from a sports car when he 
spotted a famous heart surgeon in his shop who was standing off to the
side, 
waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his car. The
mechanic 
shouted across the garage, "Hello Doctor! Please come over here 
for a minute."  
  The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.
 The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked 
argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take
valves 
out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a
new 
one. So how come you get the big money, when you and  I are doing
basically 
the same work?" 
  The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic "Try to do it
when the 
engine is running.
