150%

[Soylent Brice]

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork and was burned
out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be
beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes,
attended diligently, and learned all he
could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the
gynecologist 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 score of 150%.
Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to
appear ungrateful for such an
outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade."
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."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because
you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my
entire career."
