A group of blondes in a class at Texas A&M University were given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole.
So they went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, but they fell off the ladders, dropped the tape measures and pencils ... the whole thing was just a mess.
An engineering student comes along and sees what they're trying to do. He ! walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, and then gives the measurement to one of the blondes and walks away.
After the engineer had gone, one blonde turned to another and laughed: "Isn't that just like a dumb engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length"
