After 20 years of work as a successful gynecologist, BB had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork, and decided that, even though this is all he knew, he would seek a new career.
Hoping to try a career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic, as working in a garage is always something he thought he might be good at.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time of the practical exam approached, BB prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.
Fearing an error, BB called his instructor, saying, “I don’t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?”
The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.”
After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my entire career.”

Sorry, Bahmer. That's probably because I got up extra early this morning. I couldn't sleep.

You must have been up early because I was up at 6:30 this morning myself and I thought that I was early.

It was 4:15 AM when I got out'a bed this morning. Coffee first, then breakfast soon afterwards.
5 AM is normal for me.
