NOBLNG Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Range Rover when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his Mercedes when the mechanic shouted across the garage: "Hey doc, can I ask you a question?" The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the Range Rover. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked: "So Doc, 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 get such a small salary and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over and whispered to the mechanic: "Try doing it with the engine running." 1

NOBLNG Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I just filled up today and I watched a guy at pump #3 put $10.00 worth in. I couldn’t help but wonder where he was going……pump #4? 4

Funny, but in actuality it's a poor comparison. Hearts are routinely stopped for valve-replacement surgery. And an argument can be made that it should be quite possible to replace the valves in one head of a V-type (or other multiple-head) engine when it's running (with support equivalent to what a surgeon has), but why anyone would want to do it (maybe on a combat vessel at sea?) is a good question. ALSO...when I was in composite aircraft repair, one client was an orthopedic surgeon. He was interested in understanding the processes involved in repairing the structure of a plane he'd be trusting his life to at up to 7 G. After watching complex structural reconstructions requiring multiple, precise techniques and steps, his reaction was "you do pretty much exactly what I do, but in my case, all I have to do is get the parts stabilized in the right place, and they grow back together; you have to create and complete the "healing" of everything, from bone to skin". Nice to be recognized by someone with intelligence that some of us do more than smear goo or bang on tools while we breathe through our mouths and drool. Edited March 16, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO

The wording is why this is awesome though. You know, the fact that 10mm sockets disappear all the time. Ask any mechanic about the missing 10mm socket. They'll know. 1

Ask any mechanic about the missing 10mm socket. They'll know. The 10mm problem is widespread even among do it yourselfers. I have lost more than a few open-end wrenches as well as sockets in the frame rails and other hard to reach places. I was just thinking of all of the products that I have looked at that are made offshore, and they have a bit of a language barrier. Words that we use often do not have a corresponding word in another language.

Driven by LARPers wearing chain mail made from pop-tops, with scary-skulls finger-painted on leftover bat-flu masks, carrying their moms' leaf-blowers into battle. Kinda like Seattle a while back. 1
