Engineering

Two Minnesota engineers named Sven and Ole 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, " said Sven, "but we
don't have a ladder."
The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and
laid the pole down on the ground. Then she took a tape measure from her purse, took a measurement, announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches," and walked away.
Ole shook his head and laughed.. "Ain't that just like a woman! We ask for
the height and she gives us the length!"
Sven and Ole have since quit their engineering jobs and are currently
serving in the United States Senate.
