A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his shop. The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to check his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, \\`Hey Doc can I ask you a question?\\`
The famous 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 also can open hearts, take valves out, fix\\`em, put in new parts and when I finish, this will work just like a new one.

\\`Try doing it with the engine running\\` |
