Morris the loudmouth mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his Mercedes.
Morris shouted across the garage, "Hey DeBakey! Is dat you? "Come on ova' here a minute." The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris the mechanic was working on the car. Morris straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So Mr. Fancy Doctor, look at dis here ork. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish dis baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get da big bucks, when you an' me is doing basically da same work?" Dr. DeBakey leaned over and whispered to Morris the loudmouth mechanic. "Try doing it with the engine running." __________________ -------------------- my mind not only wanders-- sometimes it leaves completely

Good point - I have found practising catch-and-release on ill-tempered piranhas a bit like cleaning a chain saw with the engine running. -------------------- Vagabond.

I used to maintain the money handling machinery for the Reserve Bank of Australia and every now and again I would come across a problem that had me beaten. When it happened I would look thoughtful and say, "Hmm, this is an interesting one." Some years later, long after I left the bank, my the muscles in my left hand began to waste at an alarming rate, and I was losing the strength in it rapidly. I went to my doctor who examined my hand and then said he needed to speak to someone. He dialed a number and when he got hold of the guy he wanted to talk to he said, "I've got an interesting one here for you". I think that for a few seconds I was as frightened as I have ever been!

described in such a convoluted way, nobody understands what has been said and no one is really aware of what the problem is - if there is one! |
