Gentlemen . . . Rev Yer Engines! December 6, 2014

A car mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a car when he spotted a well-known cardiologist waiting for the service manager.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?”
The cardiologist walked over to where the mechanic was working.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and said, “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. When I finished, it worked just like new. So how is it that I make $30,000 a year and you make $800,000 when you and I are doing basically the same work?”
The cardiologist smiled at the mechanic before saying, “Try doing it with the engine running.”
Aah . . . that’s better!

I like that 🙂
Kathy got a big smile out of me with this one.
Clever 🙂
That’s why they pay him the big bucks!
Ha! Good one, Nancy! Have a good Saturday, I hope.
Thanks, Barbara! We’re going to Christmas Town at Busch Gardens Tampa today . . . something we’ve never done before.
🙂
Smart doc!
Agreed!
I had seen this one before, but smiled all over again. Enjoy your visit to Christmas Town.
Thanks, GM. This one rang a bell with me too . . . but I like collecting/sharing jokes on SLTW “for future reference.”
Ha! Love it. Must send it to my cardiologist brother-in-law. 🙂
Yay! I bet he’ll get a kick out of it, Maria.
Ha ha…great point!
He summed it up nicely.
Hehe – true.
I found a page-a-day Peanuts calendar yesterday. Had to buy it. 🙂
Sweet! That will put a smile on your face every day for a year.
I never expected that answer – brilliant!
I agree . . . great comeback.
Haha, he’s got a point 🙂 Besides, he’s got to pay for the med school somehow!
Yes, there’s that too! Some student loans are WHOPPERS!
That’s a good one.
Those 7 words say a lot.
Glad I made you smile.
Me too!
Love it 🙂
I hope I never need open heart surgery . . . but if I do, I’ll choose the cardiac surgeon, not the mechanic. 😛
That’s so funny. 🙂
I love a surgeon with comedic timing.
Good one, Nancy! 😀
I’m glad I’m on Kathy’s list serve for jokes.
This is a real good one! 🙂 A bit of perspective, huh?
Fixing a living breathing heart-pumping being is a bit more complicated than refurbishing a piece of machinery.
Not only that, replacement parts are pretty hard to come by.
Good point. There’s no assembly line for replacements.
