Two council employees were standing in the market square looking up at the flagpole.
A blonde walked past and asked them what they were doing.
"We need to find out the height of the flagpole, but we don't have a ladder".
"Have you got a spanner?" the blonde asked.
One of the men handed her a spanner and she undid a couple of bolts, lowered the flagpole to the ground, took a tape measure from her bag and walked along the flagpole.
"Eighteen feet six inches." she said, and returned the spanner.
"Thank you" said the men.
After she'd gone, one worker said to the other, "Typical woman, we asked for the height, and she gave us the length."
