Just like a woman...

Flag Pole

Engineers

Bubba and Ray ( Minnesota civil 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 Junior are currently supervising the reconstruction of the I-35 Bridge.)
