A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork, and was just 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, but I wonder if there is an error in my grade?"

"The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly,
which was worth 50%. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50%."

After a long pause, the instructor added, " I gave you an extra 50% because you
did it all through the muffler ”!!
