Morris was removing some engine valves from a vanagon on the lift
when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey,
who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager.
Morris, somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage,
"Hey DeBakey...Is dat you?  Come over here a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris
was working on a car.  Morris in a loud voice, all could hear,
said argumentatively, "So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work.
Just like you, I also take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts,
and when I finish this baby will purr like a kitten.  So how come you get
the big bucks and I get squat, when you and me are doing basically the same
work?"

DeBakey, very embarrassed, walked away, and said softly, to
Morris..... "Try doing your work with the engine running. "
