Ray & Bob, two government maintenance workers 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 this flagpole, but we don't have a ladder." The woman said, "Hand me that wrench in your toolbox." She loosened a few bolts, and then
laid the pole down. She then took a tape measure from their toolbox,took a measurement and announced, " 18 feet, 6 inches" and walked away. Ray 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."
Ray & Bob are still working for the government however, now they're Congressmen.
