Gary was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist who had recently moved to Andover, in his garage. The Doc was there hoping for someone to come and take a look at his bike. Gary, grinning a bit to Otis who happened to be hanging around, shouted across the garage, “Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?”

The Doc, a bit surprised, walked over to where Gary and Otis were working on the motorcycle. Gary straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So Doc, look at this engine. I open this thing up just like you do, 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 make $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?”

Otis stood by, eyes wide open, chest puffed out, just knowing ole Gary stumped the Doc on that one.

The Doc leaned forward and whispered in Gary’s ear, “Try doing it with the motor running.”

This week we celebrate a special birthday:

Monica Lewinsky turns 44.

Can you believe it?

It seems like only yesterday that she was crawling around the White House
on her hands and knees, and putting everything in her mouth.
