"Change Of Career"
A gynecologist had a burning desire to change
careers and become a mechanic. So she found
out from her local tech college what was involved,
signed up for evening classes and attended
diligently, learning all she could. When time for
the practical exam approached, she prepared
carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with
tremendous skill.
When the results came back, she was surprised
to find that she had obtained a mark of 150%.
Fearing an error, she called the instructor, saying,
"I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an
outstanding result, but I wondered if there had
been an error which needed 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. I
gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it
THROUGH the muffler..."
