Tell A Friend

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice
insurance and was on the verge of being burned out.

Hoping to try another career where skilful 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."
