Classic Insults:
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."
Two engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. 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 pocketbook, took a measurement, announced, "Twenty-one feet, six inches," and walked away.
One engineer shook his head and laughed, "A lot of good that does us. We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"
Both engineers have since lost their engineering jobs and are currently serving in the United States Congress.
But a vertical flagpole would be compressed by gravitational forces. Its length would be different when set horizontally.
So, it depends upon the accuracy that was specified, which was not given in the story, so the engineers may have had it right (disqualifying them for a political career).
Aren't you glad you asked? Oh, that's right -you didn't ask!
