Government Workers

Ray and Bob, two Government 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 Bob, “But we don’t have a ladder.”

The woman said, “Hand me that wrench out of your toolbox.”  

She loosened a few bolts, then laid the pole down.

She then took a tape measure from their toolbox, took a measurement and announced, “Eighteen feet, six inches” and walked away.

Ray shook his head and laughed.

“Ain’t that just like a ‘Miss-know-it-all’ woman?” he said.

“We need the height and she gave us the length!”

Bob and Ray are still working for the Government.
