  A group of computer consultants was given the assignment of
 measuring
  the height of a flagpole.  They go out to the flagpole with ladders
 and
  tape measures,  but they continually fall off the ladders and drop
 the tape
  measures  the whole thing is just a mess.
  An engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks
 over,
  pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from
 end
  to end, gives the measurement to one  of the computer consultants
 and walks away.
  After the engineer has gone, one computer consultant turns to
 another and laughs.
  "Isn't that just like an engineer!  We're looking for the height and
 he gives us the length!"

  Two tall trees, a birch and a beech are growing in the woods.  A
 small
  tree begins to grow between them.  One tree says to the other, "Is
 that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
  The other says he cannot tell.  Just then a woodpecker lands in the
  sapling.  The tall tree says "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert, can
 you
  tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
  The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree.  He replies, "It is
  neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. That my friends, is
 the
  best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

  A beautiful young woman gets out of the shower, wraps a towel around
  herself, and tells her husband that he can get in the shower.
  As the husband enters the shower, the doorbell rings.  The wife says
  she'll get the door and goes downstairs.  When she opens the door,
 she
  sees her neighbor Bill, whose mouth opens wide at the sight of her
  shimmering form.  He pulls out two new hundred-dollar bills and tell
 her
  that they are hers if she will just let the towel fall to her waist.
  She thinks why  not and drops the towel down and takes the money.
 Bill
  gasps at the sight and shows her two more hundreds and offers them
 if she
  will just let the towel go altogether.  She figures she's come this
 far,
  so what the heck, and drops the towel to the ground.  Bill looks
 for a
  minute, thanks her and leaves.
  When she goes back upstairs, her husband has completed his shower
 and
  asks her who was at the door.  She says, "Just Bill."
  The husband replies, "Did he say anthing about the $400 he owes me?"
