The mechanic shouted across the garage, ‘Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?’ The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the SRT. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag, and asked, ‘So, Doc,
look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any
damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year, a pretty small salary, and you get the really big bucks, $1,695,759, when you and I are doing basically the same work?’ The cardiologist paused, smiled, and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic ‘Try doing it with the engine running.’[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]

Lew,
If your cardiologist is trying to work on your heart through your tailpipe we need to have a talk!
:lol:

Nighthawk,
I read a story last night talking about the new surgical “fad.” It’s called “orifice surgery” as in going in through a natural orifice of your body… no joke. Best Regards…

Actually, they often go in thru the fuel line (femoral artery). Don’t blame the Dr. if the general public differentiate. All of the Docs I’ve met DO, thankfully…

Ed, a geek, not a dr.

My “Fuel Line” started to hurt the moment I read this…:o
