Overcoming Fatigue and Low Energy OHR #470

Laughter is the best medicine…

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley when a heart surgeon walked into his shop. As the surgeon was waiting for the service manager to look at his bike, the mechanic called to him: “Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?” The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “Doc, look at this engine. Like you, I can open it up, take valves out, fix ’em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So why do I earn a pittance and you get the really big money, when we are doing basically the same work?”

The surgeon smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic: “Try doing it while the engine is still running.”

I was complaining to the same mechanic about what he charged me to replace that cylinder. Enraged over the bill, I said, I trained for a decade. Do you have any idea what I get paid to go to the ER and see a patient on a holiday night? The mechanic replied. Save your breath, Doc, I was a cardiologist.

Have a great week.
