The Flagpole.............

[Shaglene]

Paddy and Murphy, two council maintenance guys, 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 Paddy, "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.

Murphy shook his head and laughed.

"Well, ain't that just like a 'Miss-know-it-all' woman?" he said. "We need the height and she gives us the length!"

That's the long and the short of it.

The logic of men and woman has always been poles apart.

Thought she was planning to use the wrench to do similar triangles and shadows, I've read too many Maths questions!
