A Gynecologist changes careers
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?" -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |
