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..."
