THE GYNECOLOGIST 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 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, and says, "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".

I've heard it before, a looong time ago, but it was still funny.
