The Flagpole Dilemma

[Mitica100]

Ray & Bubba (Texas mechanical engineers) were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.

A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder."

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.

Ray shook his head and laughed, "Ain't that just like a woman! We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"

Bubba and Ray are currently working for the government.
