Why didn’t the honeybee go out in the rain?
She couldn’t find her little yellow jacket.

Why did the honeybee have sticky hair?
She used a honeycomb.

If you have a bee in your hand, what’s in your eye?
Beauty…because it’s in the eye of the “beeholder.”

A mechanic is removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Harley motorcycle when he spots a well-known heart surgeon waiting in the shop to have his bike looked at.
The mechanic shouts across the garage, “Hey, Doc, I gotta question for ya.”
The surgeon, a bit surprised, walks over. The mechanic straightens up, wipes his hands on a rag and says, “Look, Doc, tell me if this ain’t the same as surgery. I open the heart of this engine, take the valves out, fix ’em, put ’em back in, and when I finish, it runs like new again. So tell me why it is that I make a mechanic’s salary while you get the big bucks…seein’ as you and I are doin’ basically the same work?”
The surgeon leans over and whispers to the mechanic…
“Try doing it with the engine running.”
