The New Mechanic

A gynecologist, tired of his profession and wanting
less responsibility, decided a career change was in
order. After some serious thought
he decided that being an engine mechanic, something he
had enjoyed up to the time he entered college, would
be a good profession.

However, it had been a long time since he had tinkered
with an engine and he knew that to work on any of the
newest engines and be able to
compete with the younger work force, he would have to
go to school.

So he enrolled in a technical institute that
specialized in teaching auto mechanics and pretty much
aced the course.

The final exam however, required each student to
completely strip and reassemble a complete engine. So
it was with some trepidation he took on the task.

At completion, he turned the engine over to his
instructors for evaluation and awaited his final
grade. When the grades were handed out he did a double
take at the 150% grade he received.

Rather confused, he asked his instructor how it was
possible to have a grade like this. The instructor
replied that it really quite simple.
He gave him 50% for correctly disassembling the
engine, 50% for correctly reassembling the engine and
an additional 50% for doing it all through the
muffler.
