Sven & Ole
Two Minnesota engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A woman walks by asks what they were doing. "Ve're supposed to find da height of dis flagpole, “said Sven, "but ve don't haff a ladder." The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple 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. Ole shook his head and laughed. "Ain't dat just like a voman! Ve ask fer da height and she gives us da length!" Sven and Ole have since quit their engineering jobs and are currently serving in the United States Senate.
