A Mercedes mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a 550 sedan when he spotted a well-known cardiac surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiac surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged and then put everything back in and, when I finished, it worked just like new.

The cardiac surgeon paused, leaned over and then whispered to the mechanic: "Try doing it with the engine running.
