Ray & Jim

Ray & Jim
(Georgia 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 Jim,
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!'
Jim and Ray are currently working for the government...
helping to design the "stimulus package."
