Two apprentices were sent to measure a flag pole, and after trying to measure with tape, which bent and fell, trying to climb and sliding down and measuring the shadow but not knowing what to do with it, a salty old party chief noticed their dilema and ask what their problem was. The said they need to find out how high the pole was, the Chief grunted and retrieved a wrench from his truck, unbolted the pole, laid it down and measured it, 45 feet he exclaimed, and walked away, The two apprentices looked at each other and one remarked, "we still dont know how tall it is, only how long it is!"
