gynecologist as a mechanic

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge if being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and become a mechanic. He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.

When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.  Fearing an error, he 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." The instructor went on to say, " I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the muffler."

After nearly forty years in practice as a gynecologist, John decided he had enough money to retire and take up his real love, auto mechanics. He left his practice, enrolled in auto mechanics school, and studied hard.  The day of the final exam came and John worried if he would be able to complete the test with the same proficiency as his younger classmates. Most of the students completed their exam in two hours. John, on the other hand, took the entire four hours allotted.   John tossed and turned in bed that night, dreading the next morning when the exam scores would be returned.

The following day, John was delighted and surprised to see a score of 150% for his exam.

John spoke to his professor after class. "I never dreamed I could do this well on the exam. But tell me, how did I earn a score of 150%?"

The professor replied, "I gave you 50% for perfectly disassembling the car engine. I awarded another 50% for perfectly reassembling the engine. I gave you an additional 50% for having done all of it through the muffler."

A gynecologist was getting sick of his job and decided that he needed a career change. He always enjoyed tinkering with engines, and thought he'd become a mechanic. So, he enrolled in mechanics' school.

He did fairly well right until the end of the semester. The final test was to strip the engine completely and reassemble it-obviously back into perfect working order. So our gynecologist friend did the test and waited anxiously for the results.

The day he received his grade, he got quite a surprise. He got 150%!

He quickly phoned the instructor and queried the mark.

The instructor said, "No, no, that's right. First I gave you full credit, or 50%, for stripping down the engine - a very thorough and efficient job. Next, I gave you full credit, or 50%, for reassembling it - a fantastic job, really. One of the best I've ever seen. And then, I gave you a bonus for doing it all through the muffler."

A gynecologist has a burning desire to become an auto mechanic, so she signs up for a class. When the time comes for her practical exam, she prepares carefully and performs the test with tremendous skill.

When the results come back she sees that she has scored 150%. Fearing that there's been an error she asks her instructor how she could have scored better than perfect.

The teacher replies: "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, that is worth 50%. You put it back together perfectly which was worth another 50%."

"So, how does that make 150%?" She inquired...

The instructor answers, "I just had to give you an extra 50% because you did it all through the tailpipe!"
