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..." |
