X-Message-Number: 18850 Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2002 15:40:11 -0800 From: James Bryan Swayze <> Subject: OFF TOPIC-- A little humor for you all References: <> Having three doctors and a few nurses and a few biologists in my family I often get things like the following joke in my email. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his shop. The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc can I ask you a question?" The famous 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 also can open hearts, take valves out, fix'em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I get a pittance and you get the really big money, 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!"
