they fell off the ladders, dropped the tape measures and pencils -- the
whole thing was just a mess.
An engineering student comes along and sees what they're trying to do.
He walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat,
measures
it from end to end, and then gives the measurement to one of the blondes
and
walks away.
