The Clever Blonde

Seamus and Paddy are standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A blonde asks them what their problem is. They reply that they have been told to measure the height of the flagpole; they have a tape measure but no ladder.

The blonde steps forward, removes a bolt from the base of the pole, lowers it horizontal, takes the measure and tells them: “It's 23 feet.” and walks away.

Paddy turns to Seamus and says: “Stupid blonde. We ask for the height and she gives us the length.”
