A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance
and was on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try
another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he
decided to change careers and become a mechanic.
.
.
.
He found out from the local technical college what was
involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently,
and learned all he could. When the time for 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 wondered if there had been an error which
needed adjusting.
.
.
.
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."
.
.
.
The instructor went on to say, "I gave you an extra 50%
because you did all of it through the muffler!"
