Gummint employees
From a pal:
Raymond & Bubba, two government mechanical engineers, were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.
A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.
“We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole,” said Bubba, “but we don't have a ladder.”
The woman said, “Hand me that wrench out of your toolbox.”
She loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down.
Then she took a tape measure from their toolbox, took a measurement, and announced, “Eighteen feet, six inches,” and walked away.
Raymond shook his head and laughed. “Ain't that just like a Miss know-it-all woman!
We ask for the height and she gives us the length!”
Bubba and Ray are still working for the government.

Re: Gummint employees
OK, I used to work for the Gummint, and I don't get it. Is there a joke there?

Re: Gummint employees
OK I get it.
This is one of those math tests that gives you a hint so that you can figure out the height - right?
Well, how tall is it?

Here in the Great Lakes, USCG has finally decided it need not completely paint every new vessel put into service. Finally dawned on them that this is fresh water, not corrosive salt sea-water.
Re: Gummint employees
Hmmm. Engineer vs. mechanic. Who got the job done?
