Heart Surgery
« on: April 11, 2013, 12:06:27 AM »
A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come 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 ha nds on a rag and said, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.

So how come I make $39,675 a year, a pretty small salary and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) 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."

Nice one Ollie. :thumbsup Actually , my heart surgeon who is Chinese Malay would come up with that. He's got one of those bloody twisted smiles. And he smiles with his eyes.

When you suggest, or describe a symptom of something he often looks attentively at his file while he comes up with some witticism.

Bugger, now I'm going to be suspicious of him.  >:()
