MAKES SENSE I GUESS...

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley Davidson shop
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon, 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 get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, 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."
