Flag Pole

Bubba and Junior (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.

Junior shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just
like a dumb blonde! We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. I would remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

That's just too funny for words. I had a snappy comeback for that but common sense tells me to leave it alone.

That's great! I'm a construction manager; I'm going to send this out to all my engineers.
