And now for some COMIC RELIEF, a very appropriate joke about a car mechanic, which our Spaw once was, and a heart surgeon. Connie just sent this to me:

A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted in the shop a famous heart surgeon who was standing off to the side , waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his car. The mechanic recognized him, because he had operated on the mechanic's mother.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hello Doc! Please come over here for a minute."

The surgeon, surprised, walked over to the mechanic. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as good as a new one.

So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing the basically the same work?"

The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic "Try to do it while you keep the engine running."
