A gynecologist had become fed up with paying malpractice insurance and was

on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another job where skillful

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."
