I\'ve received this from a friend. I want to share it with you.
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle 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 bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, \"Hey Doc can I ask you a question?\"

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the
motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, \"So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix\'em, put \'em 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 bucks,
when you and I are doing the same thing?
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic..... \"Try doing it with the engine running!\"

\"Can we see the baby?\" they asked.
\"Not yet, \" said the 65 year-old mother.
Twenty minutes later, they asked again.
\"Can we see the baby?\"

Growing very impatient, they said
\"Well,when can we see the baby then?\"
\"When it cries.\"
\"Why do we have to wait until the baby cries? \"
\"Because I forgot where I put it.\"

Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim
suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom & stayed there.
Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
Jim out.

Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Mary\'s heroic act, he
immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now
considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Mary the news he said, \"Mary, I have good news & bad
news. The good news is you\'re being discharged because, since you were
able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you\'ve
regained your senses.
The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hanged himself with his
bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am sorry, but he\'s dead.\"
Mary replied \"He didn\'t hang himself, I put him there to dry.\"
