All in good fun


.
T wo Minnesota mechanical engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A woman walks by and asks what they were doing.





'We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole,' said Sven, '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 pocketbook, took a measurement, announced, 'Eighteen feet, six inches, and walked away.





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





Sven and Olie are currently working for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation designing "round-a-bouts".

Sweet! I guess that one could go both ways. LOL

One morning 3 Canadian good old boys and 3 Americans were in a ticket line at the birmingham train station heading to atlanta for a big football game.

The 3 northerners bought one ticket and watched as the 3 southerners bought 3 tickets among them.

"how are the 3 of you going to travel on one 1 ticket?" asked one of the Americans.

"watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the North.

When the 6 travelers boarded the train, the 3 Americans sat down, but the 3 Canadians crammed into a bathroom together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, "tickets please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The Americans saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to the atlanta train station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while to their astonishment the 3 Canadians didn't buy even 1 ticket.

"how are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the perplexed guys.

"watch and learn", answered one of the Ontario boys.

When they boarded the train the 3 Americans crammed themselves into a bathroom and the 3 Ontarion's crammed themselves into the other bathroom across from it.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Ontarion's left their bathroom and walked quietly over to the American's bathroom. He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".

Actually, the device deployment looks like something that was taught in Navy Damage Control Courses.
