MECHANIC & CARDIOLOGIST

A LEXUS MECHANIC

WAS REMOVING A  ​

CYLINDER HEAD FROM

THE MOTOR OF A LS460 

WHEN HE SPOTTED A WELL-KNOWN

CARDIOLOGIST IN HIS SHOP. 

THE CARDIOLOGIST WAS THERE

WAITING FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER 

TO TAKE A LOOK AT HIS CAR

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.

THE MECHANIC STRAIGHTENED UP,

WIPED HIS HANDS ON A RAG AND ASKED,  

"SO DOC, LOOK AT THIS ENGINE.

I OPENED ITS HEART,

TOOK THE VALVES OUT,  

REPAIRED OR REPLACED

ANYTHING DAMAGED

AND THEN PUT EVERYTHING

BACK IN, AND WHEN I FINISHED,

IT WORKED JUST LIKE NEW.

SO HOW IS IT THAT I MAKE $48,000

A YEAR AND YOU MAKE $1.7M

WHEN YOU AND I ARE DOING

BASICALLY THE SAME WORK?"

THE CARDIOLOGIST PAUSED,

LEANED OVER, AND THEN

WHISPERED TO THE MECHANIC......

"TRY DOING IT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.”
