The GYN who became a 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".

Cheers,
