A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice
insurance and was on the verge of being burned out.
Hoping to try another career where skillful hands
would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and
become an auto 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."
