Two first-year engineering students—both blondes—are asked to measure the height of the college flagpole. They go outside to inspect the challenge, but are unable to come up with a way to do it.

A couple of minutes later, a senior student walks up and asks what they are looking at. They explain their task and ask for help.

“Easy” says the senior. He takes the flagpole down, pulls out a tape measure and tells them, “It’s 30 feet long.”

One of the blondes crosses her arms in disgust. “We need the height, dumbass, not the length!”
