A gynaecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and
was on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career
where skilful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers
and became 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 gynaecologist
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 has been an error that needs
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 exhaust pipe."
