The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, 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 put them back in and, when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,750) when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic.... "Try doing it with the engine running."

A gynaecologist decides he's had enough of the NHS, and retires early. Because he's always enjoyed classic cars, he thinks he might restore a couple in his retirement - but decides that the best bet is to do some evening classes first. First class he does is engine rebuilding. At the end of the course, the instructor is thanking all of the students and giving them a little pep talk. He comes over, tells the gynaecologist that he's been very impressed by the attention to detail, and that he should have no problem from here on in. "But, just before you go, I'd like to say that I've been absolutely amazed by one thing. I've seen many, many people rebuild engines over the years - but you're the first one who's ever done it entirely through the exhaust pipe"
