A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance,
paperwork and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where
skilful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a motor 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 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 wonder if there is an error in the grade?"
"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."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because
you did it all through the exhaust, which I've never seen done in my
entire career".
Apologies if I have posted this before.
