Government employees in action...

[Chuck]

Ray and Bob, two Government maintenance guys, 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 the flagpole", said Bob, "But we don't have a ladder."

The woman said, "Hand me that wrench out of your toolbox."

She loosened a few bolts, then laid the pole down.

She then took a tape measure from their toolbox, took a measurement and announced, "Eighteen feet, six 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 and Bob are still working for the Government.

Now it looks a little more believable. The part that still doesn't look right is the engineers having a spanner or a toolbox, there was no fitter with them and no TA to carry the fitters shifting spanner, hammer and 3 different size chisels.
