He had been a gynaecologist for many years, and decided it was time
for a career change so went to CIT and enrolled for a course in motor
repairs.

He studied diligently, and finally sat for his practical examination.
The test was to dis-assemble an engine, and then re-assemble it.   To
his surprise, he was rewarded with a mark of 150%.

He asked the examiner how he achieved such a high mark.  The examiner
explained that 50% was allocated for the successful dis-assembly of
the engine, and 50% for its successful re-assembly.  He had done both
well.

When he asked the examiner where the other 50% came from, he was told
that they were bonus marks because he had done the whole job through
the exhaust pipe!
