A "Europa" owner was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of his much
loved machine with a good friend of his (John, a cardiologist) watching over
(usual cup of tea in hand being helpful etc). 'Hey John, want to take a look
at this?'
John, walks over. The guy straightens up, wipes his hands on a rag and asks,
'So John, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair
any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like
new.
So how come I do this for free in a cold and damp garage, and you get
100,000, when you and I are doing basically the same work?'
John paused, smiled and leaned over, then said..............Try doing it
with the engine running.
