A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Harley Davidson motorcycle when he spotted a well known heart surgeon in his shop.
The mechanic shouted across the garage: "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question ?"
The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the bike.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his handss on a rag and asked: "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, take the 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 and whispered to the mechanic ... "Try doing it with the engine running."
