A mechanic was working on a car engine when he noticed a well-known local heart surgeon entering his shop, having brought his car in for servicing.
The mechanic shouted out to the surgeon, "Hey, doc, can I ask you a question? "Sure," replied the surgeon.
So the mechanic wipes his hands on a rag and asks, "So doc, look at this car engine. I also can open what amounts to a car's heart, take valves out, fix'em, put in new parts and all that, and when I finish this engine will work just as good as new. So how come I work for a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?'
The surgeon pauses for a moment, smiles, and says "Try doing it with the engine running."
