Engineers Patrick and Seamus (Dublin mechanical engineers) were
standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.
A blonde walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Patrick,
"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, "Five metres," and walked away.
Seamus shook his head and laughed.
"Ain't that just like a blonde? We ask for the height and she gives us
the length!"
