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,'
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!
[If I might add... Ray and Bubba may not want to accept that measurement because it is not how "it was done previously" which is to make an open tender, get a company which would supply a ladder, sign an agreement, pay an exorbitant price and then realize they still don't have a measuring tape! OPPO!]
