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..."
