I can't remember where I heard this, but I went looking for
it on the web
and couldn't find it.

So, I decided I'd post it. I was going to cross-post to the
car repair
newsgroup, but I've lost the name for it after some computer
upgrades.
So, it'll be a r.c.m exclusive!

A gynecological surgeon has had a successful career so far,
but she's
getting tired of the same-old same-old. Even though the
money's good,
and she likes her patients, still, she decides that she
needs a
significant change in her life.

Remembering her happy childhood spent fixing bicycles and
mowers and
hanging out at the local garage, she decides that she wants
to be a car
mechanic. So she enrolls in the local community college,
and takes the
entire series of car-mechanic courses. She gets to the end
of the
coursework, and she's presented with a practical test: she
is to take a
car, rebuild its engine, and demonstrate that it runs
cleanly and
reliably after the work that she has done.

She spends a week doing this, and on the appointed day her
instructor has
her start the car, demonstrate that it runs smoothly, that
no diagnostic
codes appear, that it doesn't smoke, etc.

The instructor commends her on her work: "You've done and
excellent job
here. Not only have you rebuilt this engine quickly and
efficiently, but
you have done so with minimal risk of damage to the rest of
the car, and
you have kept your work area meticulously clean throughout
the
operation. I only have one question."

"Why did you do the whole job working through the exhaust
pipe?"
