A group of blondes in a class at the University of
the Pacific were given the assignment to measure
the height of a flagpole. So they went out to the
flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're
falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures -
the whole thing was just a mess.

An engineering student comes along, sees what
they're trying to do, 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!"
