A mathematician and a physicist are trying to measure the height of a flag pole using a long tape measure.Both slip and fall down.While they sit near the pole scratching their heads,an engineer walks by.Knowing what happened the engineer notices a crank at the base of the flag pole.He turns the crank,and the flag pole tilts over until it lies on the ground.The engineer stretches out the tape measure and tell the mathematician and the physicist:"It is 15 meters."
As the engineer walks away,the mathematician looks at the physicist and says:"Isn't that just like an engineer?You ask him for the height,and he gives you the length!" Trackback: http://tb.donews.net/TrackBack.aspx?PostId=22168
