Ray & Bubba ( (Maine 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.
