A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage " Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year (a pretty small salary) and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic... ''Try doing it with the engine running." |

actually, the engine ISN'T running when they do open heart..that's why they call it BYPASS surgery, because you're on a machine that bypasses the heart and circulates the blood temporarily while the heart is being worked on. |

Oh, poo poo. Semantics. The person is still alive while being worked on, the bike never was to begin with, technically, and most people would consider it to be 'live' when running. |

"most people would consider it to be 'live' when running". speak for yourself, I consider my bikes to be "alive" the moment I touch them. My bikes are like most peoples kids. Living, breathing, full of life. A push of a button or a kick on a lever are all it takes to piss them off and make them run like hell... |
