the surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic 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 and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...
"try doing it with the engine running."
