Underpaid mechanic
Morris the mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his Mercedes.
Morris shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, come over here a minute. I got a question for you."
The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris the mechanic was working on the car. Morris straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So Mr. Fancy Doctor, take a look at what I do here. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I'm finished, they purr like a kitten. So how come you make a million quid a year, and I get about 12 quid an hour? It seems that you and I are doing just about the same thing."
Dr. DeBakey though for a moment, and then leaned over and whispered to Morris,
"Try doing it with the engine running."
