Bubba and Junior were standing at the base of a
flagpole, looking up. A blond lady walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole,"
said Bubba, "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, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and
walked away.
Junior shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just
like a dumb blond?
We ask for the height, and she gives us the length.
Bubba and Junior are currently doing government work
supervising the reconstruction of those New Orleans Levees.
