Heart surgery

[Ferb]

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 and take a look at his bike.
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 motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take 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."

My sympathies are rather with the mechanic.

... and to be fair the heart surgeon stops the heart before operating on it :-)

Mind you, he does have the advantage of working on something which is designed to be taken apart!

And which will be a commercial failure if it can be repaired too readily.

I really miss the days when goods were repaired, instead of just being chucked away.
(Or at least it was cheaper to do that.)
