Gynecologist turns mechanic
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice
insurance and HMO paperwork, and was burned out.
Hoping to try another career where skillful hands
would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening
classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time of the practical exam approached,
the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks,
and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to
find that he had obtained a score of 150%.
Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying,
"I don't want to appear ungrateful for such
an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an
error in the grade?"
"The instructor said, "During the exam, you took
the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50%
of the total mark.
You put the engine back together again
perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an
extra 50% because you did it all through the
muffler, which I've never seen done in my
entire career"
