Re: tell me if you've heard this one
A group of blondes in a class at the University of Southern California were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. <br /><br />So they went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures -- the whole thing was just a mess. <br /><br />An engineering student happened along, saw what they were trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, and then gives the measurement to one of the blondes and walks away. <br /><br />After the engineer had gone, one blonde turned to the others and laughed, "Isn't that just like a dumb engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!"<br /><br />Another one.<br /><br />A redneck wanted to join an amateur baseball team. The coach looked him over<br />and decided to give him a chance.<br /><br />"I will give you three questions," said the coach. "If you come back in a<br />week and answer them all correctly, you're on the team." "Fair enough!"<br />said the redneck eagerly.<br /><br />The coach proceeded, "Here are your questions. First, how many days are<br />there in a week that start with the letter 'T'? Second, how many seconds<br />are there in a year? And third, how many D's are there in the Christmas<br />song, 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'?"<br /><br />The next week, the redneck came back, feeling all confident that he knew the<br />right answers. So again the coach said, "So how many days in the week that<br />start with 'T'?"<br /><br />The redneck said, "Two!"<br /><br />"Very good!" said the coach. And what are they?"<br /><br />"Today and Tomorrow!"<br /><br />"Hmm...,OK," said the coach. "How many seconds are there in a year?"<br /><br />"Twelve!"<br /><br />"Twelve? How did you come up with twelve?" The coach was perplexed.<br /><br />"Well," said the redneck, "there's the second of January, the second of<br />February, the second of..."<br /><br />"Um.. OK," interrupted the coach. "How many D's are in 'Rudolph the Red<br />Nosed Reindeer'?"<br /><br />"Oh, that is easy!" laughed the redneck. "Three hundred and sixty-five!"<br /><br />"WHAT?" cried the coach. "How did you get that figure?"<br /><br />To which the redneck counted on his fingers as he sang, "Dee dee dee-dee-dee<br />dee-dee...."
