Measuring the Flagpole

A group of University of Michigan engineers are given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So they go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures. It's not long before they're falling off the ladders and dropping the tape measures. The whole thing is a mess.

An Ohio State engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do. He walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it end to end, gives the measurement to one of the engineers, and walks away.

After the Good Samaritan has gone, one engineer turns to another, snorts, and says, "Isn't that just like a Buckeye? We're looking for the height, and he gives us the length!"
