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 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 then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I  make $65,000 a year and you get $2,000,000, 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 still running.”
