Bubba & Ray

Bubba and Ray (Arkansas 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 took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the
pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced, 'Eighteen feet, six inches,' and walked away.


Ray shook his head and laughed. 'Ain't that just like a woman! We ask for the
height and she gives us the length!'

Bubba and Ray are currently working for the government supervising the reconstruction of the New Orleans levees.
