: A gynaecologist 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..."
