Gynaecologist to Mechanic



A gynaecologist 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 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 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 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....'

Well, some folk have it, and some don't.... ;-)

"I have promised to keep his identity confidential,' said Jack Maxim, a spokeswoman for the Sandton Sun Hotel, Johannessburg, "but I can confirm that he is no longer in our employment".
"We asked him to clean the lifts, and he spent four days on the job. When I asked him why, he replied, 'Well, there are forty of them, two on each floor, and sometimes some of them aren't there.' Eventually, we realised that he thought each floor had a different lift, and he'd cleaned the same two twelve times.
"We had to let him go. It seemed best all round."

No idea where I first got this from; I see it is still around, on snopes.com

So that mechanic went through the exhaust pipe?
I suppose that means he also went through the muf......fler!
