The Gynaecologist

[Farkinott, RN]

A gynaecologist had a burning desire to change careers and become a

mechanic.

So he found out from the local tech 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 gynaecologist 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 mark 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.

"I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the muffler."
