Getting Paid the Big Bucks A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a Mustang when he spotted a famous heart surgeon in his shop who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his car. The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hello Doctor! Please come over here for a minute." The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind them, put in new parts, and when I finish this will be as good as new one. So how come you get the big bucks when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic "Try doing it with the engine running."
The Cow and Carburetor Connection A man was driving down a country road in the middle of dairy farm country when his Mustang stalled inexplicably. He got out and raised the hood to see if he could find out what had happened. A black and white cow slowly lumbered from the field she had been grazing in over to the car and stuck her head under the hood beside the man. After a moment the cow looked at the man and said, "Looks like a bad carburettor to me." Then she walked back into the field and began grazing again. Amazed, the man walked back to the farmhouse he had just passed, where he met a farmer. "Hey, mister, is that your cow in the field?" he asked. The farmer replied, "The brown and white one? Yep, that's old Bessie." The man then said, "Well my car's broken down, and she just said, 'Looks like a bad carburettor to me.' The farmer shook his head and said, "Don't mind old Bessie, son. She doesn't know a thing about cars." Editor's Note-I have heard that Mustang owners go through a lot of carburetors. I wonder if there is some naughty cow out there responsible for all the sales?
