Two workmen had been sent to measure the height of a flagpole, but it was too high for their ladder. A blonde Swedish guy passed them and asked what the problem was... and thought he could help.
Using an adjusting spanner (wrench/ crescent??) from his toolbox, he loosened a nut and removed a bolt, and they lowered the pole until it was horizontal.
He then produced a tape measure and told them it was 32 ft 6 ins.
After the pole was upright and the bolt replaced he left.
Typical blonde grumbled one of the men.
We need the height and he gives us the length!
