As I have been reminded, I have been remiss in keeping up with this page. Here is an entry for today:
Two city workers stood looking up at the top of a flagpole. A woman came out of the fabric shop and asked them what they were doing. The responded that they were ordered to find out the height of the flagpole but the did not have a ladder. The woman took charge and told one of them to hand her a wrench from their toolbox. Then she removed the bolts from the bottom of the flagpole, laid it down, helped herself to the tape measure from the toolbox and measured the length of the flagpole. "Forty-nine feet, six inches" she reported, handing them the wrench, bolts and tape measure.
The city workers looked after her shaking their heads. Then one of them said, "Isn't that just like a woman, you ask for the height and they give you the length!"
