Harley Mechanic

[Steven Mace]

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley 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 valves out, fix 'em, put 'em 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, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."

so very true,I had this done 7 years ago, not on my harley(don't have one) but on my heart. I had my aortic valve replaced with an artificial one. It must really be something to be holding someones life in your hand. the surgeons fee was over $10,000 but to keep on living was worth it. I am 67 years old and am in better health than when I was 40.
