An English professor and a history professor were trying to determine the height of the school's flagpole. An engineer comes along, and asks what they are doing. They explain their dilemma; and in response, the engineer pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it down, and measures it.
5.5 metres, he says, walking away.
To which the English professor responds: "That's the problem with engineers. You ask them for the height, and they give you the length"
