Joke: Flagpoles

A group of blondes in a class at New Mexico State University were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole.

So they went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole thing was just a mess.

An engineering¹ student comes along, sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement² to one of the blondes and walked away.

After the engineer had gone, one blonde turned to another and laughed. "Isn't that just like a dumb³ man engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!"
