Flagpole humor...
Bubba and Junior were standing at the base of a flagpole looking
up. A blonde 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 blonde 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 and announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and
walked away.
Junior shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a
dumb blonde? We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"
Bubba and Junior are currently supervising the reconstruction of New Orleans.
