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 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 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".
