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".
