Department of STAM


A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a
well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage:
-Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic 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 valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically
the same work?
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."

A man applies for a job as mechanic. The boss says, "Can you roll your hard hat down your arm and pop it back on your head?"
The mechanic nods, confused.
"Can you play lightsaber with your wrench and another man's screwdriver?"
"Oh yes," says the mechanic.
"Can you bounce your screwdriver off the cement, grab it, whirl it around and put it in your belt like a gun?"
"Sir, I've been doing that for years!" says the wanna-be mechanic.
"Well in that case, I can't use you. I have 12 men doing that already!" says the boss.
